Batik was one of the first forms of art Yilpi learned to make at Ernabella. Several of her works were shown at an exhibition in Adelaide in 2006, and one of these was bought for the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.[2] Later examples of her batik works were bought by the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.[1] Yilpi is also known for making woven items, such as baskets, out of tjanpi (desert grass). She made several objects with a women's project called the Tjanpi Desert Weavers.[1]
Yilpi began painting much more recently.
Examples of Yilpi's paintings are held in the Art Gallery of South Australia[4] and the National Museum of Australia.[5] The National Gallery of Australia also has a series of ceramic pots that Yilpi painted with Malpiya Davey, Alison Carroll, and other Ernabella women.[6] The National Gallery of Victoria also owns several of her works.[7]
