OUR ART CENTRE
The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.
The work produced by our artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine, allowing an insight into our community. We depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.
MEET SEVANIA KEMARRE BONNEY
Sevania was born in Soapy Bore, Utopia and started to paint when she was teenager. She learnt the way to paint landscape and bush medicine from her mother Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney and grandmother Eileen Kemarre Bonney, a former health worker and artist.
Sevania finds painting soothing and enjoys sharing this activity with her twin daughters Dakota and Latoya, so they can learn as she did with her mother and grandmother.
Recently Sevania was taught how to produce prints. My daughters and my mum all really enjoyed drawing and carving the lino. We all worked together as a family. We were taught how to start a print and keep learning until a picture is made. We all know you have to be safe and follow the rules around the printing press.

Alpeyt (Blossom)
Life experience and culture come alive within the artwork produced for the Artists of Ampilatwatja latest exhibition Alpert (Blossom).
Each painting pays homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine while depicting traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, snaking dry creek beds, mountains and sand hills.
The beauty of these landscapes come from a close association with the land, passed down through generations, grandmothers and mothers teach where and when to find plants, the recipes and uses of bush medicines.
The Artists of Ampilatwatja sing to country, singing the bush medicine into existence. Mothers, daughters and sisters, come together at our art centre and paint our own story.

Beanie Week!
Congratulations to all 2025 Telstra NATSIAA finalist @mag_nt
We are so proud to once again be included in the talented line up of artists.
“While we painted we had big talks about community, old time stories and bush tucker stories. There were laughs and big stories about old family stories, ceremony business and dancing.
We finished that painting!” Kathleen Nanima Rambler

New work from Diane Kemarre Ross ✨
Born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and raised in the quiet outstation of Irrultja, Diane’s paintings are inspired by her memories of collecting bush medicine and hunting with family. Now living in Ampilatwatja with her own children, she continues to pass on those traditions.
Taught by her Aunty Rosie and sister Margaret—both renowned Aboriginal artists—Diane paints with deep knowledge and love for country. Her works celebrate the bush medicine plants she finds when travelling out bush, helping to keep culture and knowledge strong.

“My mother’s country is flowers, trees and mountains. I love to paint them. We see springs, the water from the springs is like rainwater, fresh and clean. We hunt goanna and turkeys, we roast them in the fire and the flesh is strong and sweet.
When we hunt we sleep at night next to the fire, the skies are big and the stars are beautiful, it makes me feel good”.

“This is my country, my view of country.” – Sevania Kemarre Bonney
Sevania Kemarre Bonney was born in Soapy Bore, Utopia, and began painting as a teenager, learning from her mother Elizabeth and grandmother Eileen — both strong women, storytellers, and artists. Today, Sevania passes that knowledge on to her twin daughters, continuing the tradition of learning through family and Country.
Her work is deeply inspired by her great grandmother’s Country around Canteen Creek — a place filled with bush bananas, wild oranges, and beautiful flowers that bloom after the rain.
“I like to go hunting, watching landscape, pretty flowers after the rain… Being on my great grandmother’s Country makes me happy and content.”
Recently, Sevania and her family have embraced printmaking, carving and printing together as a family — another way to tell their stories and honour Country.

“Out in the plain after the rain the wild flowers grow and bloom, I see these flowers on my mother’s country.
The plant has pretty flowers, we take them home and show them to the children. They are a beautiful purple, yellow and pink colour.”
