Annie Pitjara Hunter’s painting interprets Awelye (women’s laws/business) and all it symbolises during the spiritual women’s ceremonies. She depicts the bush honey grevillea, bush tucker, body designs and the ceremonial gathering of women to chant and sing the younger ones into womanhood. Annie’s paintings are characterised by whimsical patterns and vibrant colours reflecting the playfulness and joyfulness of her nature.

Annie Pitjara Hunter, Red bud mallee and Grevillea ceremony
Australia  • 1964

Presentation

Born on MacDonald Downs central Australia in 1964 to Johnny Ngwarrai Hunter and Molly Pula Hunter, Annie now lives on Atnwengerrpe in the Utopia region central Australia with her extensive family.

Annie Pitjara Hunter's paintings have been collected since the beginning of the Utopia art movement when batik was first introduced to the women in 1977. Her batik was selected for Utopia- A Picture Story an exhibition from the Holmes a Court Collection which toured extensively nationally and overseas. Her paintings were also featured in the exhibition “Utopia Women's Paintings, the First Works on Canvas, A Summer Project" (1988-89). Over the last 40 years she has participated in many group exhibitions throughout Australia, Europe and the UK.

Like her sisters Susan and Jessie, Annie's paintings interpret Awelye (women's laws/business) and all it symbolises during the spiritual women's ceremonies. She depicts the bush honey grevillea, bush tucker, body designs and the gathering of women to chant and sing the younger ones into womanhood.
