Her mother is Margaret Price Penangke and her sister Rayleen Pula Price are both established artists.
Like her mother and sister, they paint the stories related to their land. Carolyn paints several dreaming’s which have been passed down to her but the main dreaming she paints is bush seed dreaming. These are the seeds collected by the women in the hills of her home in Utopia. There are medicinal seeds and others are collected and ground into flour and a damper is made.
