My Country – Alana Ngwarraye Holmes
The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint ‘altyerr’ dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
“This is my country. I paint because I enjoy painting. My Mother, Edie Holmes let us paint with her when we where young and now we paint all the time. We still paint and talk together in a family group with our kids.” – Alana
Alana has painted her country after rain where the ground may seem dry but the flowers and trees are green and growing strong.
