STORY
As a young woman, Lisa Uhl did not have the authority to paint major Dreaming stories. Instead, she restricted herself to the secular subject matter of trees. in particular, the turtutjarti (walnut trees) and kurrkapi (desert oaks) of Wangkajungka country on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. The Desert Oak provides shade in the desert and the nectar of the flowers is sweet and edible.
