Dreaming

Gloria Petyarre created a new style of painting in 1988 at the Adelaide DACOU studio to depict a type of flora found in her country of Atnangkere that is located in the Utopia region. ‘Atnangkere Growth’ is an artistic extension of Gloria’s well-known ‘Bush Medicine Dreaming’ in which she paints the leaves of a particular shrub with strong medicinal qualities that aid in healing. Learn more here.
