Ngoia began painting in 1997, painting her father's country, sacred Warlpiri territory associated with narratives relating to the Water Snake. The oval shapes in her paintings are iconographic representations of the swamps and lakes near Nyirrpi (Talarada) north west of Mount Liebig. Ngoia depicts the wet and dry characteristics of her country. This region is charged with the spiritual presence of the Water Snake which lives beneath the surface.
