Bernadine Kemarre is a rising star in contemporary Aboriginal art. She was born in 1974 in the Ltyentye Apurte Community (Santa Teresa), approximately 80km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, and had a traditional upbringing before attending school in Alice Springs.

Bernadine comes from a family of famous artists, including Abie Loy and Josie Petrick Kemarre, who have emerged from the Utopia area in the NT. Her sister-in-law is Anna Price Petyarre, one of Central Desert's most sought-after artists. From a young age, she learned to paint her dreams, ceremonies, and essential bush foods onto canvas.

Bernadine lives with her husband, Steven, and their children in Napperby Station, NT. Her artworks are intricate and colourful, and she is an artist sure to succeed.

Artwork Story

The medicine bush leaves depicted were originally of the Kurrajong tree, of 
which some 30 varieties date back 50 million years. They scale from 
small shrubs to massive trees some 30 metres in height. The larger trees' trunks are used to store water, but the leaves have medicinal 
purposes. 


The women of Utopia, the remote region far to the west of Alice Springs, where 
Jeannie’s people gather the bush leaves, boil them and then mash 
them with animal fats (kangaroo, emu or goanna) making a medicinal poultice 
or paste that can last for many months. The paste is used to heal many afflictions, such as bites, wounds, skin infections, rashes and skin cancer. The 
bush leaves are 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 artwork

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

Great Beginner Wine Drinker
Color: 4-in-1 Wine Aerator Set - Silver
The perfect aerator for the novice wine drinker and makes a good impression with wine slobs too. So easy to pour a nice glass of wine straight out of the bottle after opening it to save time and start enjoying it sooner. Great gift idea too.

Fast way to aerate wine!
Color: 4-in-1 Wine Aerator Set - Silver
Saw the item at a wine shop…was way too pricey! Saw this one for the right price. You do not have to aerate your wine for over 30 minutes or more. Open the bottle, hook up the Circle Joy and pour right away. Works fantastic! Clean up after is a breeze. So glad I purchased.

Very good
Color: 4-in-1 Wine Aerator Set - Silver
I'm so glad I bought this wine aerator- it completely exceeded my expectations. It made the wine taste incredibly smooth and high‑quality, almost like an upgraded version of the bottle I opened. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the price is very reasonable for how well it works. Truly a wonderfully made product! :)
