A striking original Aboriginal painting by Alyawarr artist Sharida Kemarre Holmes from the Artists of Ampilatwatja community in the Northern Territory. Titled Bush Medicine Plants, the artwork reflects the distinctive style of Ampilatwatja artists, who often paint their Country and the important plants, food sources and landscapes that sustain their communities in Central Australia.

Working with delicate brushwork and layered colour, Sharida creates a detailed depiction of the natural environment. Soft shades of white and purple, along with other subtle colours, combine to represent the bush medicine plants found across her Country and the knowledge connected to them.

At 91 x 61cm, this artwork offers a strong visual presence while remaining a versatile size for display in many spaces, whether at home or in the office. It’s a beautiful piece of Australian Aboriginal art that brings colour, story and connection to your home or office.

Painted on linen and supplied unstretched, the artwork offers flexibility when framing to suit your home. As the painting has been created from multiple directions, it can be stretched and displayed in different orientations.

How The Art Is Sourced

This original Aboriginal artwork is from the Artists of of Ampilatwatja

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.

The work produced by the artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine. They depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.

In keeping with the religious laws, the artists reveal only a small amount of knowledge to the uninitiated. The information that is held sacred to the artists is concealed from the public and layered underneath the common visual narrative, masked by the delicate layered dots of the painting.

The art centre helps keep culture strong and is proudly an Aboriginal owned and governed corporation which supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of indigenous art.
