About

About

Bush medicine is widely used in Amperlatwatye, north of Utopia in Central Australia, and the knowledge continues to be passed down to younger generations. The plants depicted in Sandra's painting are found in the country around Ampilatwatja and are used for soothing skin infections by way of an ointment, or mixed with water to make a drink to help with coughs and colds.

Painting bush medicine stories is important because it helps to maintain a strong knowledge and culture for the community.

"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.” - Sandra Teece

Note - this painting will be ready to ship by Friday 15th April.
