Notes:Mary Kemarre was a senior law woman from Utopia who depicted in her paintings the traditional way of life of her people & shows, in humorous way, daily activities at the camps. She uses abstract representations intermingled with realist details such as cars, women and people going about their everyday lives. Her great knowledge of traditional stories makes her art a valuable contribution to the next generation of Utopia artists. Source: Aboriginal Artists: Dictionary of Biographies
