Delvine Pitjara (sometimes spelled Petyarre) grew up at Atneltye, or Boundary Bore, in the expansive Indigenous homelands region of Utopia, some 240km north-east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs). Delvine is sister to acclaimed artist, Anna Pitjara, and youngest daughter of Glory Ngale (dec.), an esteemed artist and integral participant in the landmark Utopia Women’s Batik Project in the late 1980s.

Her artwork “My Country” depicts her ancestral country, Alhalkere, and the arid terrain that defines the landscape of the expansive Utopia homelands of Central Australia. Using a combination of intricate white dots and fine linework to capture the dry rivulets, creeks, sandhills, soakage sites and other features of the terrain from a topographic point of view. She takes great care in capturing the Dreamings of her father and grandfather’s country. Delvine often includes salient streams of dotted colour across otherwise monochromatic canvases, giving her artworks a striking, effortlessly contemporary aesthetic.

Utopia is an area that is abundant with the pencil yam, a beloved bush tucker that holds significant spiritual meaning. Delvine is also known to paint Pencil Yam and Yam Seed stories, using fine white lines to depict the sprawling roots of the plant.
