Josie Petrick Kemarre
Josie Petrick Kemarre was born at Santa Teresa Mission, c.1953.
Josie Petrick Kemarre commenced painting about 1990 and has since attained a high degree of sophistication in the interpretation of traditional women's stories.
Josie usually depicts the gathering of bush food and in her art she uses only a semblance of Aboriginal iconography. This interesting, modern interpretation of landscape exudes an aura of the abundance of bush fruits.
