About the Artist and Artwork

Artwork based on Abie Loy Kemarre’s Bush Medicine Leaves.

Abie Loy Kemarre developed her fine skills as an artist at an early age working closely with her famous grandmother Kathleen Petyarre. Kathleen taught Abie the techniques to create paintings where the delicate dotting created a moving surface of colour that highlighted the structure of her paintings. Abie concentrated on the Bush Hen Dreaming story that she had inherited from her grandfather.

Abie is related to a number of the famous Utopia artists including Gloria Petyarre, Ada Bird Petyarre and Emily Kngwarreye. Born in 1972, Abie belongs to the Eastern Anmatyerre language group and identifies with her traditional country at Iylenty or Mosquito Bore.

Abie Loy Kemarre’s Bush Hen Dreaming paintings further evolved and she began work on bolder, more abstract style around motifs of Sandhills and Body Painting.  The expertise shown in her work brought her critical acclaim. Abie has been exhibiting for thirty years both within Australia and internationally.

Her artwork celebrates the leaf of the antywerleny, a native wattle plant long valued by Aboriginal people for its healing qualities. Traditionally, the leaves are crushed and blended with animal fat to create a soothing medicinal ointment, or steeped in water to produce a cleansing wash.

In her paintings, Abie honours the life-giving spirit of this plant. Each finely painted leaf represents both the practical healing it has provided for generations and the deep connection between people and Country.

By depicting the leaves, Abie pays tribute to the plant’s spirit and expresses a heartfelt wish for its continued regeneration and abundance.
