Roseanne Morton Petyarre is a talented emerging artist in the world of contemporary aboriginal art. She was born in 1984 at Boundary Bore in Utopia, approx. 280km northeast of Alice Springs, Northern Territory and had a traditional upbringing, attending school at Utopia so she could stay close to family.


Roseanne’s mother is renowned artist Gracie Morton Pwerle. Gracie started to paint on batik in the 1980’s along with her mother Myrtle Petyarre and Aunties Gloria, Kathleen, Violet, Nancy and Ada Bird Petyarre (all international artists).


Roseanne learned from a young age the art of painting her dreamings, ceremonies and important bush foods onto canvas by watching her mother, aunties, and grandmothers.
Roseanne continues to live at Utopia with her husband, Papunya artist, James Morris, and their two children. A lovely lady with immense talent, this third-generation artist will no doubt have a long and successful career.

About the Painting

The Story Behind the Bush Leaves Paintings

 The medicine bush leaves depicted were original of the Kurrajong tree of which there are some 30 varieties dating back 50 million years. They scale from small shrubs to massive trees some 30 meters in height. In the larger trees, their trunks are used to store water, but it is the leaves that have medicinal purposes.

The women of Utopia, the remote region far to the west of Alice Springs where Caroline’s people originated, gather the bush leaves, boil them, and then mash them with animal fats (kangaroo, emu, or goanna) making a medicinal poultice or paste which can last for many months. The paste is used to heal a multitude of afflictions such as bites, wounds, skin infections, rashes, and skin cancer. The bush leaves are also boiled in hot water to make an infusion or healing tea. Other preparations were used as insect repellent or were thrown into the water to stun the fish.

The desirability of the artworks

 Admirers of the medicine bush leaf paintings often observe their mesmerizing attraction. People are captivated by how the paintings appear to be in motion in front of their eyes like the leaves on the canvas are literally blowing in the wind. Many buyers and collectors of medicine bush leaf artworks both in Australia, America, and Europe are also medical specialists who buy the works to hang in their consulting rooms to show an Aboriginal artwork with medical connotations.

Perfect to use take off makeup, or put products on your face.
Size: 500 Count
This has a thin side and thicker side. Very soft for putting product on or taking it off. Great value for my money. These are made of great quality, they are easy to use for the functionality they were made for.

Check size and thickness before ordering
Size: 500 Count
They are extremely small and thin. The single sheet is transparent and a few drops of toner almost dissolves the pad. It would take at least a dozen of the "thick" pads to completely remove makeup. The plastic box arrived crushed and several pieces of plastic with very sharp edges fell on my carpet and had to be searched for to prevent cuts on feet and paws. Very disappointed and would not recommend

Mixed Feelings
Size: 475 Count, Size: 475 Count
I have mixed feelings about this. They’re very thin and feel a little more rough than a round cotton pad. I’m not sure if I’ll buy again, because of the texture. Also because they are so thin, if you use a water based makeup remover it doesn’t absorb much and gets all over your hand. I might just continue to buy round cotton pads because they feel softer on my skin for removing makeup.

Good Product
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton swabs are very soft and gentle. They feel sturdy and do not fall apart easily, which I appreciate. The baby-safe tips make them more comfortable to use, and the organic cotton is a nice plus. Good quality and useful to keep on hand.

The Best for Baby! A New Parent Must-Have!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
After you make your baby registry, you think that you've considered everything you need and are prepared for just about anything - but oftentimes we forget the little things that we will use on a regular basis and these cotton swabs are one of those things that never crossed my mind until push came to shove... I absolutely love the "baby cotton swabs. The way the q-tip is made is fantastic as it does not allow you to go too far into the babies ear canal. It has a thinner tip for ear cleaning which meets a thicker "fluffier" cotton base. My daughter moves around a lot, so being extremely careful unfortunately is simply not enough once she started becoming more mobile. She will move her head or jerk around and this safety feature does not allow me to accidentally insert too far in. Additionally, it cleans the ear very well, the skinnier tip is great for wax build-up inside the canal while the larger thicker part is also fantastic for cleaning/drying ears outside of the ear canal/around the ear opening. I use these for clearing out baby's ear wax, drying the outer ear canals after bath, I've even used them after she got her ears pierced to ensure no saline solution has gotten inside of the canal. I went to the pediatrician and received a compliment about how clean her ears are and she mentioned she sees a lot of parents struggle to keep their babies ear clean. She asked what we were doing and I let her know about these and she let me know she would start recommending it to parents. I will continue using these until my daughter is old enough to clean her own ears, this is my 3rd box and I like them so much I've even added them to my subscribe and save.
