Dreaming: Bush Berry Bush Plum


Betty Mbitjana is the daughter of acclaimed artist Minnie Pwerle (deceased) and sister of the artist, Barbara Weir. She paints the bush berry and bush plum dreaming.

 

Betty's mother, Minnie and other women used to collect these fruits, cut them up into pieces and skewer them on a piece of wood and dry them to be eaten in times when bush tucker was scarce. Through her paintings, Betty is carrying on the tradition started by Minnie by painting the designs women would paint on their bodies for ceremonies on the Alyarre/Anmatyere cultures

 

Betty Mbitjana has been painting for redrock gallery since 2001
