  • About the Artists

    Our vibrant and dynamic artists are from the Utopia region; a large remote area of Central Australia which, until recently, had no government funded art centre. As a result of their pioneering efforts, they have one of the strongest and richest art histories.

    Bush Plum Dreaming by Josie Petrick Kemarre (SOLD)

    120cm x 60cm

    Clusters of warm coloured dots are interspersed with deep blue dots, each created with a bamboo satay stick.

    There are many little black plum-like berries in the Central Australian bush. This particular berry is actually a mistletoe (angkwerrpme in Josie's language), and one of just a few varieties that have edible berries; making it an important food source.

    In this painting, Josie explores the ripening stages of the berries maturity - from green to shades of yellow, red and orange before finally a blueish purple (close to black) when it falls from the stem and is collected in bulk.
