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.

At almost 40 years of age, Naomi Pwerle is Anna Price Petyarre's eldest daughter. From an early age, she watched her mother and other women of her community paint their Dreaming stories. During this time, dot work featured heavily in Utopia art.
In this painting, Naomi is recreating one of her mother’s most in-demand styles of the late 90’s; derived from a vision of the pencil yam root system beneath the ground, and its seed.
The seed of the pencil yam is one of its most important attributes which Naomi illustrates with dot work. This seed is called Kame, most famously recognised as the bush name of Emily Kame Kngwarreye.
