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.

Soakage by Roese Pwerle
Raw and burnt siennas, ochres, crisp white and antique white, and a touch of burghundy; this painting by Roese is full of rich desert hues and has a beautiful flow. It would make for a warm centrepiece in the home.

Anwekety by Polly Ngale
A beautiful pastel dot painting by acclaimed artist Polly Ngale.
Before her passing in 2022, she was losing her eyesight and this contributed to the layers that developed in pursuit of covering up the black canvas. She liked to fill up every inch of canvas with colour. Darker colours became harder to see, so she also loved using lighter and brighter colours, and telling you how 'good' each painting was as she painted them.
