    Artist: Betty Mbitjana 
    Skin name: Mbitjana (also spelled Mpetyane) 
    Language group: Anmatyerre
    Country: Ahalpere
    Area: Utopia Region, Central Australia
    Born: 1957

    Betty's work was influenced by her mother's artwork, a renowned Aboriginal artist named Minnie Pwerle who passed away in 2006. Betty's impression of her mother's paintings was more structured and refined.

    The designs depicted women's body paint designs, land formations and sacred sites on her mother's country, Atnwengerrp, in the remote reaches of Utopia in Central Australia.



    In 2021, Betty Mbitjana took up full time residence at an aged care / respite clinic in Alice Springs due to health issues and later passed away in 2023.
