Bush medicine flowers after the rain

“Bush Medicine Flowers After the Rain” is a celebration of healing, renewal, and the intimate connection between Country and its people. The artwork captures the desert landscape as it comes alive following rainfall — a time when dormant seeds awaken and bush medicine plants burst into bloom.

The swirling floral forms and delicate brushwork symbolise the movement of life returning to the land, each petal representing both beauty and healing. The composition’s harmony between soft and vibrant tones reflects balance and rejuvenation, evoking the fresh scent of rain-soaked earth.

This piece honours ancestral women’s knowledge of natural remedies and their role as caretakers of Country. It embodies the rhythm of nature’s cycles — a timeless story of resilience, nourishment, and renewal.
