Josie Petrick Kemarre
Josie Petrick Kemarre is a bold and innovative artist, painting her Dreamtime stories. Josie depicts aerial landscapes of her desert birthplace and surrounding traditional country. Josie is a leading artist from Utopia in the Northern Territory.
Some of Josie’s dreamtime stories were inherited from her late grandmother, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, who was a very successful artist late in life, and painted depictions of the desert and its plant life changing with the seasons and life giving rains. Josie’s work has been on exhibition in New York and Washington as well as numerous exhibitions in Australia.
