Artist statement
I like to go and gather the delicious sugarbag with my family out in the sandy country around Ampilatwatja.
Sugarbag is a name used for the honey made by the native bees from the sweet nectar that comes from the big yellow flowers of the tarrkarr (Hakea). Rosie Ngwarraye Ross’s painting style demonstrates a deep connection to her country, and feature bush medicine plants and wildflowers rendered in a bold palette.
