A striking original Aboriginal painting by Alyawarr artist Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney from the Artists of Ampilatwatja community in the Northern Territory. Titled Flowers and Fairies, the artwork reflects the distinctive style of Ampilatwatja artists, known for their detailed brushwork and layered colour that represent the landscape, plants and natural environment of Central Australia.
Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney was born in Tennant Creek and comes from a strong artistic lineage. Her mother, Eileen, was one of the original artists of Ampilatwatja, and the two spent many years painting together. Elizabeth is also one of the senior traditional healers in Ampilatwatja, with a deep knowledge of Country, bush foods and medicine.
“My Great Great Grandfather’s country is Arlenkw. My Grandfather’s Mother’s country is Titjambera. My Great Grandmother’s country is Arene. I paint to keep my country alive, so we can know and teach our young ones, our grandchildren. When I’m not painting I like to go visiting family or hunting for echidna, sugar bag and bush potato.”

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.
