Belinda Golder Kngwarreye

Belinda paints the story of the Bush Plum Dreaming that she inherits from her Grandmother Peggy Ngale. The bush plum is known as anwekety and only fruits for a few weeks of the year.

Belinda uses a method where she loads the brush with many tones of colour as she works the dotting method across the canvas, often painting wet on wet, so the colours continue to blend into one another.
