Original Aboriginal Art by MINNIE PWERLE 2003 (1910 - 2006)

Here is a fantastic piece of art from one of Australia's finest artist. Its called "Bush Melon Dreaming" painted in 2003 acrlic on canvas and the size is 105cm x 126cm unstreched and the photo dose not do it justice it comes with a COA but no photo.

Minnie, one of eight children and mother of acclaimed artist Barbara Weir, was born in the Utopia Station Region of the Northern Territory, 250 kms northeast of Alice Springs. She was married to Motorcar Jim and together they had six children.

Like many other highly respected Utopia women artists, Minnie participated in the batik project which was introduced to the community in 1977. Painting on canvas in the community started in the late 1980s.

In 1999, after many years of ceremonial body painting and in her late eighties, Minnie started to paint on canvas.

Painting traditional body paint designs of Awelye and her inherited Bush Melon Dreaming, Minnie soon attracted a large following, holding her first solo exhibition in Melbourne in 2000. Her knowledge of and her spiritual connection to the land is clearly evident in all her paintings.

Minnie continued to paint until she died in March 2006. Her paintings are held in many overseas institutional and private collections as well as the major art galleries in Australia.
