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.

I need to stop buying these
Size: 1 Pound
They're super sour and I end up burning my tongue from eating too many in one sitting lol You get a good amount for the money, a bag lasted me a couple weeks and I was munching daily. If you love sour candy and are looking for a fix you can't go wrong with these

Deliciously sour!

Just what I was looking for. Super sour. Don’t eat to many tho for you run the risk of canker sores from the citric acid.

Authentic cry baby tears
Size: 1 Pound
I LOVE this candy and eat waaaay more than I should. My only minor gripe is that both times I've ordered from this company the bad has been slightly underweight- less than half an ounce off so not a huge deal, but for almost $13 a point I would rather it be spot on. It is the actual candy though and not a knock off so I am happy about that at least.
