Artwork Story:
Woman Collecting Honey Ants, Bush Plums and Hunting Sand Goanna depicts women travelling across Country gathering important bush foods that grow naturally throughout the desert landscape. For many Aboriginal families, knowledge of where to find honey ants, bush plums and sand goanna has been passed down through generations, forming an essential part of life on Country.
Honey ants are found beneath the sandy soils and are carefully dug from the ground using digging sticks. Bush plums grow seasonally on native shrubs, while sand goanna are tracked across the sandhills and hunted as a valued source of food. These foods provide nourishment and are gathered with deep knowledge of the land and its seasonal cycles.
In the painting, layered dotting and flowing patterns represent the journeys women take as they move across Country collecting bush tucker. Circular forms often indicate places where food is found or where women gather together to rest, share stories and pass on knowledge to younger generations.
The artwork celebrates the strength of women and the important role they play in maintaining cultural knowledge, caring for Country, and continuing traditional practices that connect people, land and community.

“Picked up my picture from the framers today and it is now on my bedroom wall. I absolutely love it. Thank you”
“Maria Nampijinpa Brown’s “Seven Sister’s Dreaming” painting arrived last week and is even more impressive than shown online. It’s vivid colors and traditional designs inspire me to learn about Aboriginal Art. I admire the symbolism of the sisters becoming the Pleiades Star Cluster to escape danger. How clever! I feel honored to display this wonderful art in my home.”
