About Artist

Thelma Pitjara Long paints the leaves and flowers of bush honey grevillea (tharrkarre) - an important plant in her country because of the sweet honey found in its flower. The honey is usually sucked straight from the flower, or the flowers can be steeped in water to make a sweet drink. Her paintings observe these plants and landscape from an aerial perspective and are usually monochromatic.
