    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.

    About Jessie Hunter Petyarre

    Jessie

    Artist: Jessie Hunter
    Skin name: Petyarre (also spelled Pitjara, Petyarr, Apetyarr)
    Language group: Alyawarr
    Country: Arawerr
    Region: Utopia, Central Australia
    Born: 1960's

    Jessie is sister to Annie Hunter, Susan Hunter and Sandy Hunter.  She resides in Utopia in the Eastern Desert and lives a traditional life spending all her time in the bush.

    Jessie's paintings encompass all aspects of her country, Arawerr, including the Dreaming story of Nteny Ngkwarl (sweet honey flower), women's ceremonial sites or dreaming places where women are gathered, and ceremonial body paint designs. 

    The women sit and chant the songlines that have been passed down to them from their ancestors. It is at these ceremonial meetings that the women pass on their Dreamings to the younger ones.
