Price range information: Sorry none available.
The artist often works in acrylics.
One recurring motif for the artist is a sugar bag. Sugar bags are used to describe the kind of honey made by stingless bees of Australia. These sugar bags are collected and used by Aboriginals on daily basis. Many Aboriginal artists use them for subject matter.

Josie Petyarre creates very intricate works. I like the abstract qualities and repetitive brush strokes. The way she builds texture is also outstanding.
