Woman’s Dreaming – Bush Medicine and Waterhole

This painting represents women travelling across Country to gather bush medicine and visit important waterholes. These journeys are guided by deep cultural knowledge of the land, where women know where particular plants grow and where water can be found.

Bush medicine plants have long been used by Aboriginal families for healing and wellbeing. Women collect leaves, roots, and seeds from native plants and prepare them for traditional medicines. These practices are passed down through generations, with knowledge shared between mothers, daughters, and grandmothers.

In the painting, circular forms often represent waterholes — places where water collects and life is sustained. Flowing patterns and layered dot work reflect the movement across Country as women travel between these sites, gathering plants and caring for the land.

The work celebrates the strength of women and the cultural knowledge they carry, honoring the connection between people, Country, bush medicine, and the life-giving presence of water.
