  • 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.

  • Yam Leaf by Dulcie Pwerle

    60cm x 60cm

    Dulcie paints the foliage of a pencil yam called atnwelarr; a native trailing herb that will cover large areas of ground after significant rain. Its luscious bright green leaves and yellow flowers bring the bush to life. Tubers (pencil yams) are found beneath the surface which are a favoured and nutritious food and there is a sacred Dreaming story for this yam that belongs to Dulcie's country, Alhalkere. This painting captures the untamed movement as the foliage emerges from the ground and sweeps across the desert floor.

    • This painting comes unstretched and rolled in a tube. See our Custom Stretching page for stretching options.
    • Size of painting: Approx 60cm x 60cm
    • Border: Approx 6cm strip of black canvas border; enough required for wrapping around a 2cm or 3cm deep stretcher frame which is the popular choice for framing Aboriginal art.
    • Material: Synthetic polymer paint on canvas
    • This painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity

    Dulcie is one of a number of people who paint the classic Utopian style of leaves and flowers sweeping across the desert floor. With her connection to the original creator of this style (Gloria Petyarre), her flow of form and her beautiful spirit, she is right at home to be our featured artist painting this style.
