    Provenance:
  • Jessie Bird is the daughter of the renowned artist Lindsay Bird who is known as a senior elder and one of the custodians of the land in Utopia, Northern Territory.
    Utopia is one of the largest artist communities in Central Desert Australia.

    In spending time with her parents, in particular her father Lindsay, Jessie developed her Dreamtime illustrations on canvas and is now recognised as a well-known, young female, Utopian artist.
    Like many Utopian women, Jessie paints her Dreaming including stories of, ‘Bush Seeds', Women's Business' and ‘Alparra Seed Dreaming'.

    Her primary illustrations of ‘Alparra Seed Dreaming' highlight this once sacred food source.
    The women of Utopia would collect these seeds and then grind them down to make damper, a staple food in this region.

    Jessie's works are highly intricate, utilising a diversely colourful palette to bring her Dreamtime stories to life!
