She also worked at the local school as a teacher's aide. After leaving Yirara she started painting at Mount Liebig which is further west of Papunya, towards Kintore. Later she moved to Kintore with her husband who is the son of famous early Papunya Tula painter, Johnnie Scobie. His wife is artist Nabula Scobie, who was one of the first women painters. Fabrianne lived with her mother Maudie Petersen Nungurrayi, an artist in her own right, and her work is said to be very reminiscent of her mother's. Fabrianne also learned the skills of painting and the dreaming stories from her sister Sandra.
