Jeannie’s paintings depict the Bush Yam. The seed of the yam is represented by the fine white dot work and the thick colourful brushwork represents the flower and the vegetable. Jeannie’s style is unique and she uses a bright and bold colour pallette.
The Desert yam is an important food source for Aboriginal people from Utopia in central Australia. It has an impressive root system, spreading up to twelve metres from the stalk, and is commonly found in woodland areas near to a water source, such as a river or creek..
