'Bush Tucker Dreaming' by Josie Petrick Kemarre
Born:
c.1953
Region: Atitjera (Harts Range) - Northern Territory
Language Group: Anmatyerre
Born at Santa Teresa Mission, Josie Petrick commenced painting about 1990. Since then she has attained a high degree of sophistication in the interpretation of traditional women's stories. She usually depicts the gathering of bush food. In her art she uses only a semblance of Aboriginal iconography. This interesting, modern interpretation of landscape exudes an aura of the abundance of bush fruits.
