Belinda Golder Kngwarreye / Bush Plum Dreaming (BG100)

Belinda Golder Kngwarreye was born in 1988 and grew up in Boundary Bore, Utopia, Central Australia. She began painting in her twenties under the guidance of her grandmother, leading Utopian artist, the late Polly Ngale and Polly’s sisters, Kathleen Ngale and Angelina Ngale. These ladies were traditional custodians for the Bush Plum Dreaming and Belinda paints this story that she inherited from her grandmother using heavily layered paint to depict the fruit and foliage of the plant in various stages of ripeness.

Belinda has also learnt painting techniques from her sister, well known artist Janet Golder Kngwarreye. In recent years, Belinda has painted a series of works which depicts her ancestral Country of Alhalkere. These artworks are rich in story, combining imagery of women’s ceremonies and bush tucker, as well as features of the Utopia landscape.

Belinda divides her time between Alice Springs and Utopia where she lives with her husband and 2 children.
