    Who is Dora

    Dora is an Anmatyerre woman from Ahalpere country in Central Australia. Born in 1965 to Minnie Pwerle and Motorcar Jim. Sister to Barbara Weir and Betty Mbitjana. Wife, mother and grandmother.

    Her paintings are visual representations of her mother's country, Atnwengerrp, which is located in the northern reaches of the remote Utopia region.

    Curvilinear designs represent Atnwengerrp women’s ceremonial body paint designs.

    Concentric circles represent waterholes and small circles represent anemangkerr.

    Anemangkerr is a small bush melon or bush tomato that grows in northern Utopia and is sacred to the people of Atnwengerrp and Irrwelty. It is high in Vitamin C and favoured for its keeping qualities.

    Atnwengerrp country is located in the far north reaches of Central Australia's remote Utopia region. Dora's family still live there.
