Welcome to our May newsletter. In this edition we highlight the Peter Taylor Tjutjataja feature, our Abie Loy competition and some new features on the Central Art website.

We are honoured to present a special exhibition celebrating the water colour landscape paintings by Peter Taylor Tjutjataja.
Peter Taylor follows an unbroken tradition of Hermansburg watercolours that goes back more than six decades, when Albert Namatjira became one of the most sought after Australian artists in Australia in the mid 20th Century.

Peter told me that when he was a young child at Hermansburg he would sit and watch Uncle Albert paint and he recalls that Natamjira said to him 'you'll be an artists too one day'', says Sabine Haider, Director of Central Art.
To see some of Peter Taylor's incredible watercolours see the artist feature or read our feature article below to learn more.

On March 24 we launched a new competition. The competition celebrates the contribution Abie Loy Kemarre has made to the Aboriginal Art industry by giving our mailing list members a chance to win one of her artworks.

The competition has already received an enormous number of entries. We are loking forward to more in May, so why don't you enter now?

We have created an Aboriginal Art symbols glossary. As this feature develops it will allow users to easily search the website by particular symbols. We are very excited about some of our new developments and can't wait to share them with you.

For more information about the Peter Taylor feature please read our feature article below - and remember to enter the Abie Loy competition as many times as you like.

Good luck!
