Bessie Purvis Petyarre commenced her painting career in 2005. Her mother, the late Polly Ngale, was one of the most esteemed and sought-after artists in Utopia. Bessie has received support and learned about her culture and the technique of Dreamtime depiction from her mother and aunts.

Her "Bush Plum Dreaming" paintings are inspired by three distinguished figures: her father-in-law, Kubbitji Kngwarreye, Aunty Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and her mother, Polly. These works depict her homeland, Alhalkere, and all that it encompasses.  Her Dreamings originate from both her parents, with her learning the Antwelarr and Kame Dreamtime stories from her father, and the Anwekety Dreaming from her mother.

 The Antwerre and Kame Dreamtime stories are particularly significant to Bessie’s homeland. " Antwelarr " pertains to the plant, and " Kame " refers to the seed. These themes are most frequently represented in Bessie's paintings, which also feature women's ceremonies that are continually performed to honour the spirit of the Bush Plum and to ensure its ongoing productivity.

About the Painting

The Bush Plum is a vital part of the narrative of this region and serves as a major food source gathered by women. The women collect as much as possible, given that the fruit is only harvestable for several weeks each year. 

Bessie employs a topographical technique to illustrate the growth patterns of the Bush Plum, building layers of paint through dotting, smearing, and varied brushstrokes. This method allows her to visually celebrate the seasonal variations and cultural importance of the Bush Plum.

Disliked at first, ended up LOVING!
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
UPDATE: I actually ended up loving this product once I started treating it as a first layer serum. I use a very small amount, let it soak in for a minute or two, and then layer a body lotion over it. Using it that way gives me the softest skim (even on rough dry areas like elbows) and it totally takes away any sticky/tacky feeling! I don’t quite know how to feel about this product. It is hands down one of the most hydrating body lotions around and immediately after application skin does feel silky and smooth. It causes no irritation and has almost no scent. However the longer it is on the more tacky and sticky it gets- even dabbing extra off with a towel does not help. It is particularly bad on the hands, I literally could not stand it because it felt like I had partially dried glue all over my hands. Strangely the one place this lotion works on is my feet and it really helps with any dryness (I’m an avid walker and hiker so my feet get dry). I would not purchase again because I can’t use it anywhere else. I wish it stayed feeling like it does immediately after application because I bet it would help skin look and feel smoother with continued use, but unless the formula changes to something that isn’t tacky and sticky it is basically worthless. Unless you want to purchase as a foot cream!

Final Vote if Still Out
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This cream is definitely giving the hydration. There is hardly any scent to it, which I like so that I don't feel like it's completing with other products. My skin is feeling softer and has more of a glow versus being dry. The only negative thing so far is that I feel it is a bit sticky. I am going to keep using and be consistent with it to see what the longer term benefits are.

Dove never fails us, ladies! Solid lotion for all over.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10!

It's a great deep conditioning lotion
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is above and beyond your usual body Moisturizer! Very hydrating, I haven't experienced any sticky residue. It absorbs quickly, I put it on just after a shower to hold in moisture. Accidentally discovered while using a lotion applicator for my back that it also gives your hair a great deep conditioning! I didn't have any residue in my hair either.
