Bush Medicine Plants, Rosie Ngawarraye Ross, Acrylic on Linen.

Most of the artists of Ampilatwatja community near Alice Springs paint in a style called Arreth, a word which translates to ‘strong bush medicine’ and demonstrates a deep connection to country. 

But you don’t have to travel out bush to experience or share their skill. The Artists of Ampilatwatja’s online store is bringing the fruits of the desert to the contemporary shopping space in colourful artwork and silk scarves, available for purchase as gifts this Christmas.

Here’s a taste of a gift option that both treats your loved ones and supports Australian art.
