Her father moved to Pipalyatjara and then north to Utju (Areyonga).. Her mother was Pitjantjatjara from Mutitjulu and then she moved to Areyonga. Rosequinne has painted all her life, as she moved between Areyonga and Alice Springs. She has painted at the Areyonga Art Centre when it operated.
Rosequinne has lived at Karnte Town Camp with other former Areyonga Community members, who now live in Alice Springs.

She explains 'I enjoy painting and participating in activities at the Community Centre.'
