About Janet

Janet Golder Kngwarreye is the daughter of Margaret Golder and Sammy Pitjara. She is an Anmatyerre artist hailing from Mulga Bore within the Utopia Homelands. Ms. Kngwarreye resides at Boundary Bore with her husband, Ronnie Bird, and their three children. She has been actively involved in the Batik movement at Utopia in the Northern Territory and predominantly focuses on painting narratives related to her ancestral land in this locality.

The artistic lineage within her family is profound. Her grandmothers, the highly regarded Utopia artists Polly Ngale and Angelina Pwerle, alongside her uncle, Greeny Purvis, contribute to this heritage. Additionally, her sister, Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, is recognised as an accomplished artist in her own right.

Janet embarked on her painting journey in 1987, acquiring her artistic skills from family members and embracing themes that resonate within the female artists of her family group. These themes encompass the Awelye Women’s Ceremonial Body Paint, the Bush Yam Leaf designs, Bush Medicine, and Mountain Devil Dreaming. In recent years, she has further developed narratives centred on women’s cultural practices on Country, intertwining imagery of bush foods with elements of the Utopia landscape.

Janet Golder Kngwarreye possesses considerable expertise in color application. Her artworks frequently merge black and white design elements with vibrant colours, or alternatively, display a full spectrum of color, illustrating features of her homeland and the bush medicine that flourishes there. She has showcased her work in galleries across Australia and on an international scale.

About the Artwork

Janet has created a Women’s Dreaming narrative, intricately weaving her cultural heritage with the bush tucker and waterholes that are crucial for the women during their ceremonial excursions, which may last up to one week. The women perform significant ceremonies at these locations, including the Desert Yam (or Bush Plum) story from her ancestral lands.

The yam grows subterraneanly, with its viny shrub extending above ground to a height of approximately one meter. It is typically located on Spinifex sand plains and yields large blossoms following summer rainfall. The yam is a tuber, or an enlarged root, of the shrub and possesses a flavour reminiscent of the common sweet potato. It may be consumed either raw or cooked, and it remains a fundamental food source for the desert Aboriginal peoples, who can harvest it year-round. Additionally, it is renowned for its medicinal qualities. This plant's medicinal properties are utilised to heal cuts, wounds, insect bites, rashes, and also serve as an insect repellent.

During ceremonies, the women pay tribute to the spirit of this unique plant, expressing the hope that it will regenerate.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

2020, one of Janet's works was chosen to decorate the Coles supermarket in Alice Springs

Comfortable & Dad-Bod Approved!
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Size: X-Large, Color: White
I purchased this shirt in advance of our 10th Anniversary Cruise, and I'll say it was a success! I had never worn a shirt like this before, but I am now a fan. Cool, breathable, comfortable, and my wife loved it! Definitely Dad-Bod Approved. Quality was nice and I think was priced fairly well (might have bought on a sale). The size was perfect. I'm 6'2", 275lbs in these photos, and the XL was a great fit.

Not bad so far
Size: Small, Color: Light Yellow
mixed feelings about the quality... only worn/washed once and there are some dangling threads which I had to cut off which might lead to further degradation of longevity etc. The fit is a bit snug between S and M, I chose small regarding the closest fit to my chest size but it's ok. The fabric is thin so if you are a guy that doesn't mind showing off your form and fitness this shirt is flattering. The fabric is texture, light and thin so there is comfort regarding the lightness of wearing it. One could go a size larger for looser fit and more comfort but I actually like the tighter fit.

Perfect summer shirt...
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
I am one that ALWAYS look at the 1 star reviews first. When I brought this shirt I did not... I brought 4 more in different colors. I have now looked at the 1 star reviews and I have to disagree.. Most say they are too thin. When it's 90 - 100 degrees outside this shirt is PERFECT.. It is airy and relaxing. I found it to be also perfect in size. I came back to order more but they don't have a few colors I am looking for. This worked for me all the way around..

Flattering and classy
Size: Medium, Color: White
Thin but I love it that way. Is not overly wrinkled after ironing but wrinkles terribly when washed. Fits well not tight or too loose. Buy your exact size. The white is very classy.

Very Thin, low quality, runs small
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
Way too thin. It's completely see-through, and the fit runs small. I forgot to return it and wound up giving it away to Goodwill.
