When Elizabeth isn’t working at the art centre she is painting her country. Knowing your country is an important part of living in a remote community like Ampilatwatja. Knowing when and where to go hunting and gathering, knowing where there is ‘soakage’ (where you can dig for water), travelling with family for ceremonies, and maintaining a connection with the land.

Julieanne has such an intuitive way with colour. Her latest painting captures the desert landscape after the rain and just before it all turns green. Julieanne has been taught to read the country by family members and she now passes that on to her children.

Lilly has painted her country, Antarrengeny and it’s gorgeous! The brightly coloured flowers and small bushes are bush medicine and are still used within the community.
Lilly’s landscapes beautifully communicate the rich knowledge she possesses of both medicinal plants and country, the heart of her culture.

Julieanne loves to paint and is a well known artist of the community’ her mother Lilly Kemarra Morton who is a senior artist of Ampilatwatja was a part of the Utopian Batik movement in the 1980’s.

Julieannes’ paintings are inspired by her mother’s stories - the old days of walking and living on their land.

What a relief! After such a hot couple of days we had rain, rain, rain and a great lightening and thunder storm rolled over the land last night.
Sweet desert rain.

MY FATHER’S COUNTRY – RITA PITJARA BEASLEY
“This is my Father’s country.

This place is our hunting place. I always go with my daughters and their children, I show them this place and teach them about the swampy country. We hunt for goannas, bush potato, bush tomato and after the big rain the bush medicine is picked and the roots are dug up to be used.

It is important as my mother taught me this and now I teach my family.”

When I’m not working at the art centre I paint the country of my Father and Mother and where they grew up, near Barrow Creek.
“This is the painting of my Father’s country, where I grew up. When we would go hunting, we always climbed those hills. We would take the kids hunting too and take photos of the hills.”
I use bright colours and beautiful attention to detail expresses the love and joy that I have for the country closest to my heart. Kathleen Namina Rambler

All those clouds - it’s been raining in Ampilatwatja!

“Before my father died, he told me and my sister, that if we ever painted, he wanted us to paint his dreaming. His dreaming is the seed dreaming, from his country. I paint that story, it’s important. That’s why i always paint the seed dreaming.”- Lulu Teece

“We collect bush medicine plants when we are out hunting. Different kinds of plants grow during different seasons.

Bush medicine plants are used for healing on the body and for drinking. We make this by smashing the plants with a rock, we use the juice and the fibre of the plant.

There are lots of different medicines, we know what their stories are, we learnt them from our parents and we teach these stories to our children.” Daisy Kemarre Turner

“My paintings show my deep love for my country and the beauty I see. When I go hunting I always like to see the colour in the trees, the light, the dark and the bush medicine plants growing on the sand hills.”
