Wildflowers, 2008 by Jeannie Nakamarra Daniels, 122x91cm Cat 13592JD

This beautiful, colourful work depicts wildflowers which are used as a bush medicine when crushed up with water to use as rubbing ointment for burns, scabies etc.

The site depicted is Tjikrti, close to Mina Mina in the Tanami Desert which is her family's traditional country.

Although normally based in Balgo with her mother (artist Sarah Daniels), this painting is part of a body of work that Jeannie painted whilst staying with her mother's sister, Mitjili Napanangka Gibson , in Alice Springs.

An auntie is a very important relationship in Aboriginal culture as this is how traditional knowledge is passed on with particular emphasis on cultural stories.
