Judy Baypungala was married to senior artist and clan leader Dr David Daymirringu and lived at Yathalamara outstation at this time. She employs several techniques in her weaving of pandanus fibre mats, one of the most spectacular is a sunburst of spiral rays. Her dilly bags also show infinite variations of colour and weave used by this very skilled and talented artist.
Judy Baypungala is also one of the few weavers left in the Ramingining area to weave miwana dilly bags, made from sedge grass collected from the edges of the Yathalamara billabong.
In 2002 one of her stunning pandanus mats was acquired from the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin. In 2004, Judy Baypungala received a special mention for her pandanus mat in the 21st Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
