There are many sacred Dreamtime stories that belong to Bettrina’s country of which play a significant part in her ceremonies and culture. One of her main Dreamings is the story of Bush Medicine which she has depicted in this painting. In the ‘olden days’ the leaves and the seeds of this plant were gathered, ground and mixed with animal fat (today a commercial oil is used) and it is then used as an ointment or boiled in water for medicinal use. In this painting, dot work represents the bush medicine seeds.
