This highly talented family of women artists present their dreamings and the legacy of their famous mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Minnie Pwerle. Minnie was one of Australia's top female contemporary Indigenous artists. Her paintings are loved for being so modern in style and yet so traditional and raw in the subject. Minnie's art is in major public collections such as the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Barbara, Minnie's daughter, is one of Australia's most sought-after contemporary Indigenous artists. Inspired by a small grass found in Utopia called Lyaw, Barbara's Grass Seed paintings consist of a series of small brush strokes that overlap and weave to create a swaying effect.
