The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was formed in 1999. This group is known for their finely detailed work that is often bright in hue, and provides a figurative depiction of their country, rich in plant biodiversity. These artists mostly paint ‘Arreth’ which means ‘strong bush medicine’. Their deep connection to Country is shown in their homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine, allowing some insight into how the land has provided for and sustained Alyawarr people for generations.
