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.

The Artwork
Spring Soakage | 120cm x 120cm
This colourful artwork by Utopia elder Lena Pwerle depicts soakages (waterholes) that are spread across her country in Central Australia.
Lena says that these soakages are now all dried and used up but had plenty of water in them long ago which provided her people with a much needed water supply. With their intimate knowledge of the land, Lena’s people knew how and where to find them.
Charcoal Lindsay | 45cm x 45cm
This small black, white and red ochre artwork by Utopia elder Lindsay Bird depicts the Bush Plum Dreaming.
Black or charcoal is an important colour associated with the Bush Plum Dreaming. Often it distinguishes the bush plum from other trees or berries in symbols due to its inherent colour.
Flowering Yam | 180cm x 60cm
This large panel by Utopia medicine woman Jeannie Mills Pwerle depicts the desert yam, its seeds and its bright magenta flower.
Summer Leaves | 45cm x 45cm
This small Leaves painting by Gloria Petyarre is vibrant, fresh and seaside-esque making it a perfect addition to Desert Doll's first range.
