Dakota Ngwarraye Petrick – Artna Alpeyt (Bush Flowers)

These bush flowers grow seasonly in Alyawarr country, some of which are also used in bush medicine remedies.

My twin sister Lotoya and I have just started painting, our grandmother Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney has been teaching us, she tells us all about the bush Flowers and bush medicine.

The artists of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr (dreaming stories). The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
