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.

Dot paintings are deeply rooted in Aboriginal art's origins. From early body paint techniques to being used to conceal important and sacred symbols. Often in Aboriginal art now, dots are used to illustrate important Dreamtime seeds or fruits, or to weave the traditional methodology of dotting into the story telling process.
