Jeannie Mills Pwerle was born in 1965 in Utopia, Northern Territory. Her paintings predominately represent the flower and seeds of the Anaty, which she enjoys collecting in her homeland. The linear work in Jeannie’s artworks represent the impressive root system of the yam and dots represent its seeds. Using a variety of colours in each brush stroke, Jeannie builds up a pattern of harmonious colours, embedded in (or defined by) a multitude of fine white dots, executed with intricate detail. Her paintings capture the viewer’s attention as their eyes meander across the canvas, enjoying the harmonies and subtle variations in each brush stroke. Jeannie’s works are unique to her and immediately recognisable and make excellent choices for interior design enthusiasts. In 2008 Jeanne was a finalist in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
