Artist Profile: Angelina Pwerle

Join artist Angelina Pwerle as she describes the significance of the bush plum, the subject of her painting, Bush Plum Dreaming.

"This is my father's country, bush plum."

Join artist Angelina Pwerle (b. 1952) as she describes the significance of the bush plum, the subject of her painting, Bush Plum Dreaming. Watch the artist at work as she creates a mesmerizing field of dotprints across the canvas, representing and evoking a landscape that stretches without clear start, center, or end. Pwerle paints outside—on the ground and on a car hood, alone and with companions—across a canvas that travels freely and blends seamlessly into the landscape of her own life.
