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.

About
The plant depicted in Laurie's painting can be found in the country around Amperlatwatye in Central Australia. It is 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 is important because it helps to maintain a strong knowledge and culture for the community.
Swatches
The dots are Matisse Antique White (pictured), a creamy off-white hue, painted on a white background.
The black used is Carbon Black. It is one of the oldest pigments known to mankind. It is a neutral matte black in this painting but, when mixed with white, it creates grey with a cool, bluish undertone.
