About Roseanne Morton

Roseanne Morton Petyarre, an Anmatyerre woman, hails from the Utopia region of Central Australia, where she was born in Boundary Bore in 1984. Situated 280 km north-east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Utopia provided the backdrop for Roseanne's traditional upbringing, as she attended school there to remain close to her family.

As a scion of a family of esteemed artists, Roseanne is the daughter of the highly regarded Utopia artist Gracie Morton Pwerle and the granddaughter of the internationally acclaimed Kathleen Petyarre. The artistic tradition within Roseanne's family and the broader Utopia community runs deep. Not only are Gracie's aunties artists, but her sisters, Mary, Rita, and Elizabeth, also contribute to this rich legacy. From a young age, Roseanne absorbed the art of painting her Dreamings, associated ceremonies, and bush foods from her mother, aunties, and grandmothers. She represents an exciting new generation of artists from this region's Petyarre/Pwerle families.

Roseanne resides in Utopia with her husband, James Morris, a Papunya artist, and their two children. Possessing immense talent, this third-generation artist undoubtedly anticipates a long and prosperous career.

About Gracie Morton Pwerle (Mother 1956 - 2024)

Gracie Morton Pwerle, born on Utopia Station around 1956, hails from a family with a rich artistic tradition deeply rooted in the Utopia community. She is the daughter of the renowned artist Myrtle Petyarre and the sister of the well-known artists Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre. Moreover, her sisters, Mary, Rita, and Elizabeth, also carry forward the family's artistic legacy.

Gracie Morton Pwerle embarked on her artistic journey in the late 1980s during the "A Summer Project," which introduced acrylic paints and canvas to the women of Utopia. Her artistry has been widely acclaimed across Australia and internationally. As a senior traditional custodian of the Arnwekety (Bush Plum) Dreaming, Gracie is entrusted with the responsibility of preserving the Dreaming, customs, and traditions associated with the Bush Plum in accordance with traditional law, a duty passed down to her from her father and aunt.

The focal point of Gracie's artwork is the Arnwekety, through which she portrays the seasonal variations that influence the plant. Her creations exude a captivating lyricism, fostering a three-dimensional visual effect that guides the viewer through the soft, outward-reaching fields of color.

Gracie Morton Pwerle's artworks grace major private collections, including the esteemed Holmes à Court Collection, and are frequently exhibited throughout Australia. She has also participated in international exhibitions in China, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands.

The Story of the Bush Plum Dreaming

Roseanne's artwork emanates from a foundation of traditional knowledge, showcasing her proficient painting approach through the meticulous assembly of bush seed images. The layering of dots characterizes this method to create a dense surface, employing a vivid color palette.

Her subject matter derives from acute observation and memory, reflecting an intimate understanding of the land, interwoven with personal history and ancestral journey.

The Bush Plum Dreaming Story is a significant narrative spanning the western and central deserts, from Lajamanu and Warlpiri country to the Utopia homelands. Originating from the Utopia region, the Dreaming or Creation Story of the Bush Plum recounts the dispersal of bush plum seeds to the artists' ancestral lands by winds during the Dreamtime. The first bush plum of the Dreamings grew, bore fruit, and dispersed its seeds across the lands through the gusts of the winds.

To ensure the perennial fruiting of the bush plum, the Aboriginal people pay homage to its spirit through ceremonial song, dance, and paintings. The patterns in these paintings symbolize the plant's fruit, leaves, flowers, and body paint designs associated with it during ceremonies. The bush plum, a sought-after type of bush tucker, is only available at specific times of the year and is distributed throughout most of the Utopia region and as far west as Lajamanu. However, its abundance has dwindled due to the grazing of introduced animals, especially cattle and rabbits.

Good Quality for what you pay
Color: Golden Yellow, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
I 24/7 'researched the heck out of Sheepskin Blk Fri DEALS, this was the best for the money. I had a feeling this Long-Hair version of Sheepskin rug /piece was possibly not quite the same as stuff I bought in the early '90s...from an ACTUAL Sheep Farm -not the curly densely-packed Lambskin, more the '70's 'Shag-Rug' version. Still- I LIKE IT. It's very WARM & seems to be made well even tho the backing is a trimmed down version of true leather. I use it as a large pad under my easy chair. I got the YELLOW, worried the dye might affect the function but no- it did not and tbh- the Yellow is kind of awesome! A soft glowy SUNNY yellow good to blast you out of Winter DULL! I'm NOT going to attempt to wash this. Brush it- yes. I will get it Dry-cleaned when needed. I DO recommend this Sheepskin.

Hard to say if genuine or faux.
Color: Light Brown, Size: 2' x 3' (Single Pelt), Color: Light Brown, Size: 2' x 3' (Single Pelt)
I was really debating between two brands and decided to get this one since it had more good sounding reviews. I received it and now I'm not 100% sure if this is REAL sheep or just a really well done Faux. I trimmed a few pieces from this rug and my Faux one I got from ROSS and they both bubbled up exactly the same way when burned...But the rug I got from Ross is so much softer and smoother, but the backing is different in the Ross one and definitely a cotton material compared to this Amazon one which is slightly stiff but more suede looking. I also felt a real sheep rug earlier this week (and was what made me interested in buying one—but I wasn't interested in the price tag of the one from the store I found. However, the one at the store even had a tag on the corner stating "Genuine New Zealand Sheep Skin"). I just wish this had a stamp or tag somewhere or something on the piece stating it's "Genuine" like most authentic leather/fur goods have. It is fluffy and soft—but so is my faux rug from ROSS. This piece does have those curls/coils that make it seem more dense and like an actual sheep's coat. It might just be a REALLY low quality product that they're trying to market in an enticing manner. Even the backing looks like cheap cardboard like someone else stated. Either way, most likely keeping it since the price was alot less than the cost of the one I found at the store and I like the creamy beige color I ordered because it gives a more natural look than the stark white fur I originally found. Regardless, it's for my Dog, so I'm not too bothered and if it gets messed up and mangled it won't be such a big deal. Odor in the one I got just smelled like a sheep that's been in the sun all day and dissipated pretty quickly/got covered up once I sprayed it with my dog's fragrance/refresh spray. Creased up from the packaging but nothing a little brushing and shaking couldn't fix. I hope this helped inform you before you purchased. PS: They did send samples of a "Faux" Fur AND "Real" Fur which I thought was kind of neat but the sample coulda been from an actual good quality real fur compared to what they sent...Who knows?

Very nice quality, this is the perfect size. It is a tiny bit yellow, but still looks really nice. It's lovely to be able to set my feet onto something so soft, especially in the morning.

Furnished Apartment? Quality!! Instant upgrade
Size: 2'6" x 6'6", Color: Ivory White, Size: 2'6" x 6'6", Color: Ivory White
I was concerned about ordering sheepskin online. So many scams & faux fur. And Wow! Holy Moly - I’m so impressed. I’m from Hudson Valley NY - lots of sheep farmers - I know fur! These are fabulous! Bigger than the others online Thick and full piles and beyond soft These are beautiful - I’ve now ordered 3 If you’re a renter and furniture came with the rental - these can transform your space! The colors are beautiful and appear very natural PS: Do not expect bleached white color And you really wouldn’t want it I have allergies and chemical reactions These are beautiful, supple and natural They come with a linen bag, cleaning brush and care instructions I’m so pleasantly surprised and maybe a bit obsessed with the quality of the pieces that arrived. You won’t regret this one! I’ve ordered the white - over 6ft long draping my love seat. The brown - for two dining chairs that I easily move around. The photos explain - enjoy.
