--Gloria Petyarre born circa 1945 in Atnangkere Soakage, Northern Territory--Her glorious paintings are inspired by Dreamtime stories and her people's affinity with the land. The Brush Bush Medicine  paintings depict a bush that grows in Atnangkere Country used for traditional healing. The resin produced from boiling the leaves is mixed with kangaroo fat and used to heal cuts, wounds, bites or rashes.
