FREDA PRICE PETYARRE - MY COUNTRY

Freda Price Petyarre was born in Utopia c1984. She comes from a long line of famous artists. Her mother is prominent Utopian artist Anna Price Petyarre. Encouraged by her mother and other family members, Freda is now producing some beautiful work.

Her style is similar to that of her mother Anna with intricate dot work telling the story of her country in her sandhills style and has a great flare for colour as used in her Bush Yam style.  Her Grandmother, the late Gloria (Glory) Ngale, was known for her eye for colour, a legacy of her Batik work, which she passed down to her daughters and granddaughters.

Freda lives in her traditional homelands of Utopia with her husband and children.

In this painting Freda has depicted the area of her birthplace. There are various campsites and ceremonial sites depicted with people often represented by  U shapes. Also depicted are rock-holes, rocky outcrops and sand hills found in her homeland

It is at these campsites that dreamtime stories are told and Womens ceremonies conducted. At these ceremonies senior women elders gather together to teach their culture & dreamtime stories to the young women
