Yalti is the wife of Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, the well known artist who paints for Papunya Tula Artists and who is also a shareholder of the company. Yalti is a member of the small group who did not have prior contact with Europeans until late in 1984, after meeting with people near Winparrku (Mt. Webb). Prior to this she had been living on the western side of Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).

Yalti now lives and paints in Kiwirrkura, along with her husband Warlimpirrnga and their children. In 1999 Yalti contributed to the Kiwirrkura womens’ painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal.
