Polly belongs to the oldest living generation of Utopia women and her artistic career began in the late 1970s when she, like many of the women in Utopia, began working with silk batik before venturing into works on canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"copyJ\"\u003ePolly is considered one of the most accomplished painters from the Utopia region and is inspired by the Arnwetky (conkerberry) - a green tangled, spiny shrub that produces fragrant white flowers. After the summer rains, tiny green berries begin to grow and ripen, changing colour over the weeks from light green to pinks and browns to yellow, to shades of red and purple when they finally ripen. The fruits very much resemble a plum and are often referred to in English by Polly as a 'bush plum'. The Arnwetky is a popular variety of bush tucker for the people of Utopia, as well as possessing medicinal properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the Dreamtime, winds came from all directions, carrying the Arnwetky seed all over Polly's ancestors' Anmatyerre land. To ensure the continued fruiting of the Arnwetky, the Anmatyerre people pay homage to the spirit of the bush plum by recreating it in their ceremonies through song and dance, and in recent years, through painting. The patterns in the paintings can represent the fruit of the plant, its leaves and flowers, and also the body paint designs that are associated with it during the ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolly shares this country and the Bush Plum (Arnwetky) Dreaming with her sisters Kathleen Ngale and Angeline Pwerle Ngale. Like Kathleen, Polly creates her paintings by building up layer upon layer of colour to create multi-dimensional images. The two have often collaborated and painted together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolly's paintings are borne from traditional knowledge and her confident approach to painting can be seen in the way she assembles streams of seeds, piling dots upon each other to create rich thick fields employing glowing palettes of colour. Pollys works range from extremely fine dotting techniques with either interspersed colours or areas of varying colours and depth all blending together across the canvas. Through extensive overdotting, she builds up layers of colour, blending or separate, to give a wealth of different and very attractive paint effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer subject matter is drawn from acute observation and memory. Intimate knowledge of the country, personal history and ancestral journey. Seamless in her portrayal of these elements her paintings are sensory mind maps that reveal the artist's place, and her sense of self all within one framework. Polly's work has been increasingly exhibited since 1999 and in recent years, Polly has undergone a renaissance in her work - by all accounts producing some of the finest paintings of her career to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer work has appeared in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award since 2003.

Polly belongs to the oldest living generation of Utopia women and her artistic career began in the late 1970s when she, like many of the women in Utopia, began working with silk batik before venturing into works on canvas.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolly is considered one of the most accomplished painters from the Utopia region and is inspired by the Arnwetky (conkerberry) - a green tangled, spiny shrub that produces fragrant white flowers. After the summer rains tiny green berries begin to grow and ripen, changing colour over the weeks from light green to pinks and browns to yellow, to shades of red and purple when they finally ripen. The fruits very much resemble a plum and is often referred to in English by Polly as a 'bush plum'. The Arnwetky is a popular variety of bush tucker for the people of Utopia, as well as possessing medicinal properties.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the Dreamtime, winds came from all directions, carrying the Arnwetky seed all over Polly's ancestors' Anmatyerre land. To ensure the continued fruiting of the Arnwetky, the Anmatyerre people pay homage to the spirit of the bush plum by recreating it in their ceremonies through song and dance, and in recent years, through painting. The patterns in the paintings can represent the fruit of the plant, its leaves and flowers, and also the body paint designs that are associated with it during ceremony.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolly shares this country and the Bush Plum (Arnwetky) Dreaming with her sisters Kathleen Ngale and Angeline Pwerle Ngale. Like Kathleen, Polly creates her paintings by building up layer upon layer of colour to create multi-dimensional images. The two have often collaborated and painted together.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolly's paintings are borne from traditional knowledge and her confident approach to painting can be seen in the way she assembles streams of seeds, piling dots upon each other to create rich thick fields employing glowing palettes of colour. Pollys works range from extremely fine dotting techniques with either interspersed colours or areas of varying colours and depth all blending together across the canvas. Through extensive overdotting, she builds up layers of colour, blending or separate, to give a wealth of different and very attractive paint effects.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHer subject matter is drawn from acute observation and memory. Intimate knowledge of country, personal history and ancestral journey. Seamless in her portrayal of these elements her paintings are sensory mind maps that reveal the artists place, and her sense of self all within one framework. Pollys work has been increasingly exhibited since 1999 and in recent years, Polly has undergone a renaissance in her work - by all accounts producing some of the finest paintings of her career to date.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHer work has appeared in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award since 2003.

She is one of the senior traditional custodians for both the Altyerre (Dreaming) and the vast expanse of a related country, some 263kms north of Alice Springs. In accordance with traditional law, the responsibility for the Bush Plum Dreaming has been passed down to Gracie from her father and her aunt, who are responsible for ensuring that she perseveres its traditions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGracie Pwerle Morton's career began in the 1970s with the Utopia Women's Batik Group and on canvas in the late 1980s. Her work has been well received in galleries throughout Australia and around the world. Gracie works with great strength and dynamism of the Utopian women artists that continue across the generations. Gracie's delicate dotting and colour variation use an aerial perspective to portray the seasonal changes of the Arnwekety - the Bush Plum, a plant of great significance to the women of Gracie's traditional country, Mosquito Bore.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGracie Morton's style of painting is distinctively minimalist and she uses a very delicate dotting technique and traditional colours. Her signature theme is the \"bush plum\" stories known to the Alyawarre as Arnwekety.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe delightfully subtle paintings of the Arnwekety - the Bush Plum, depict the changing seasonal influences on a plant that is of the greatest significance to the Alyawarre women of the Eastern Desert region of the Northern Territory. The incredible finesse of Gracie's style creates a wonderful lyricism in her works, causing a three-dimensionality that pulls at the eye guiding the viewer through the soft, outward-reaching fields of colour, while simultaneously transfixing one in its undulations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Bush Plum is a highly nutritious small fruit with black seeds, rich in vitamin C, that can be eaten raw or cooked. Growing in a great profusion of flower and fruit throughout the winter months, the women, accompanied by the children, collect the Bush Plums, while at the same time reconfirming their connection to the land. The flourish of colour that distinguishes the Bush Plum after the fall of rain, is quickly transformed with the long hot summer months. Dried and separated, the seed and husk are scattered over the vast sun-baked landscape by the hot summer wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCollections\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bioUL\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeher Collection, Reimers Foundation, Deidesheim, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNational Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNational Gallery of Australia, Canberra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtbank, Sydney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHolmes a Court Collection, Perth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlaughter and May International Law, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"copyJ\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelected Solo Exhibitions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002 Land is Life.

Her work has been well-received in galleries throughout Australia and around the world. Gracie works with great strength and dynamism of the Utopian women artists that continue across the generations. Gracie's delicate dotting and colour variation use an aerial perspective to portray the seasonal changes of the Arnwekety - the Bush Plum, a plant of great significance to the women of Gracie's traditional country, Mosquito Bore.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGracie Morton's style of painting is distinctively minimalist and she uses a very delicate dotting technique and traditional colours.

The incredible finesse of Gracie's style creates a wonderful lyricism in her works, causing a three-dimensionality that pulls at the eye guiding the viewer through the soft, outward-reaching fields of colour, while simultaneously transfixing one in its undulations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Bush Plum is a highly nutritious small fruit with black seeds, rich in vitamin C, that can be eaten raw or cooked. Growing in a great profusion of flowers and fruit throughout the winter months, the women, accompanied by the children, collect the Bush Plums, while at the same time reconfirming their connection to the land. The flourish of colour that distinguishes the Bush Plum after the fall of rain, is quickly transformed with the long hot summer months. Dried and separated, the seed and husk are scattered over the vast sun-baked landscape by the hot summer wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCOLLECTIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bioUL\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeher Collection, Reimers Foundation, Deidesheim, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNational Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNational Gallery of Australia, Canberra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtbank, Sydney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHolmes a Court Collection, Perth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlaughter and May International Law, London\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"copyJ\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSelected Solo Exhibitions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2002 Land is Life.

Jeannie was encouraged by her aunt, Emily Kngwarreye to continue to paint her family's Yam Dreaming.

The subject of many of Rosemary Petyarre’s paintings is a representation of leaves collected around her country and used for a variety of medicinal purposes.

The community can be found North East of Alice Springs. Dolly Mills is an Anmatyerre speaker, which is one of two language groups that can be found in the area in and around Utopia. Dolly has three siblings; Jeannie Pitjara, Evelyn Pultara, and Greeny Purvis. All four siblings are well-known and talented artists. Sadly, Greeny passed away in 2010.

This group included famous artists such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye. In 1988 the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) launched a community project titled “Utopia – A Picture Story” and was a collection of 88 silk batiks made by local women. This collection was later acquired by The Holmes a Court Collection.

The most prominent subject of her work is the Bush Yam and Emu and the strong association between the two. Her paintings are based in Alhalkere country which is the region her Dreamings originate from. The Yam is an important food source for Aboriginal people and is collected by the women of Utopia. The plant has bright green leaves with yellow flowers, with its root system spreading up to 12 meters from the stalk and branches which spread in a similar fashion. It is usually located close to water holes or underground water systems and in woodland areas. The Emu is featured as it roams the countryside in search of food and the women will often follow its tracks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDolly uses delicate patterning and subtle coloring in her works, using feminine colors such as purple, pink, and orange in pastel tones.

Her family and the Utopia community share a rich artistic heritage. Not only her aunties but also her sisters, Mary, Rita, and Elizabeth, are artists. Gracie began painting in the late 1980s during the “A Summer Project,” when acrylic paints and canvas were introduced to women at Utopia. Her work has been widely appreciated across Australia and internationally. As a senior custodian of the Arnwekety (Bush Plum) Dreaming, she ensures the traditions, customs, and stories linked to this Dreaming are maintained, a responsibility inherited from her father and aunt.

He says of this time, “My grandfather would be painting on bark and we kids would sit around him and watch him grind the ochres and mix the colours. After a while he would tell us the story for that particular painting and also teach us the songs and dance for that story. When he was in a very good mood, he let us paint the sides of the bark painting. That was my start.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt has taken Edward Blitner many years to learn to paint the stories and the Dreamings passed on to him by his grandfather. He is also an accomplished woodcarver. Some of his bird carvings stand two meters high and are fully decorated and cross-hatched.
