About the painting

Tanya paints the bush tucker and flowers found in the harsh desert lands of Utopia. Annual rainfall is very low however after the winter rains, the country bursts into life with colorful flowers and bush foods. The women still go out to this day to collect these special plants, seeds, and fruits which can be used for many things including as a food source rich with vitamins and bush medicine.
