[2] Hinton-Bateup was born in 1950 in South Sydney Women's Hospital and identifies as an Aboriginal woman of the Kamilaroi and Wonnarua peoples.
In 1986, she produced Dispossessed, that included text and focuses on the forced relocation of Aboriginal people and their loss of connection to Country.
[6] In 1988, Hinton-Bateup participated in an Aboriginal parenting seminar sponsored by a regional public tenants council as a community art project.
As a result, she produced a poster at Garage Graphix about Ruth Whitbourne, another Aboriginal woman.
