Story
Betty was involved with Batik work at Utopia and has been painting for a long time. She is represented in the Holmes a Court Collection and her work is represented in the catalogue ‘Utopia – A Picture Story’.
Betty paints “My Mother’s Story”, awelye (women’s ceremonial body paint designs) for the ancestral dreamtime stories of the anemangkerr (bush melon and tomato) which belong to her mother’s country.
In this work the concentric circles represent a women’s ceremony site, while the other forms represent women painted with ceremonial body paint.
