Bessie Purvis Petyarre commenced her painting career in 2005. Her mother, the late Polly Ngale, was one of the most esteemed and sought-after artists in Utopia. Bessie has received support and learned about her culture and the technique of Dreamtime depiction from her mother and aunts.

Her "Bush Plum Dreaming" paintings are inspired by three distinguished figures: her father-in-law, Kubbitji Kngwarreye, Aunty Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and her mother, Polly. These works depict her homeland, Alhalkere, and all that it encompasses.  Her Dreamings originate from both her parents, with her learning the Antwelarr and Kame Dreamtime stories from her father, and the Anwekety Dreaming from her mother.

 The Antwerre and Kame Dreamtime stories are particularly significant to Bessie’s homeland. " Antwelarr " pertains to the plant, and " Kame " refers to the seed. These themes are most frequently represented in Bessie's paintings, which also feature women's ceremonies that are continually performed to honour the spirit of the Bush Plum and to ensure its ongoing productivity.

About the Painting

The Bush Plum is a vital part of the narrative of this region and serves as a major food source gathered by women. The women collect as much as possible, given that the fruit is only harvestable for several weeks each year. 

Bessie employs a topographical technique to illustrate the growth patterns of the Bush Plum, building layers of paint through dotting, smearing, and varied brushstrokes. This method allows her to visually celebrate the seasonal variations and cultural importance of the Bush Plum.

Gentle everyday cleanser!
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
My go to nightly cleanser! Gentle yet effective. Removes makeup without leaving any residue behind. Also does not dry out my skin or cause breakouts! I would say it’s more of a cream cleanser though. It does not really foam up. It’s a decent size bottle for the price. The pump dispenser is an added plus!

So gentle and moisturizing. Great for super sensitive skin.
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
This is so gentle and moisturizing. Does not irritate my skin in any way. My skin is super sensitive and I have atopic dermatitis, it has been the best cleanser I’ve used to date. I was using another one from this brand and it was fine but this is the one I will continually stick with from now on. Just hope they don’t change the formula.

A foaming cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin!
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I have very dry, reactive skin and initially looked past this face wash because it is foaming which is usually a no-go for my skin. I am pleasantly surprised with how well my skin tolerated this product. No dryness or irritation and my face felt clean. I also love that it is fragrance free because fragrances seem to really irritate my skin and who needs to smell their face wash? I am happy to say this is another great product from Avene!
