This artwork reflects the many bush flowers, which at certain times of the year cover the desert landscape at Utopia in central Australia into a beautiful garden of bright and pastel colours. Some Bush flowers and their leaves have medicinal purposes, which are often used as Bush medicine for Aboriginal people.
Sadly Janelle's life was cut short but her paintings remain a legacy.
