Born circa 1980, Kate Petyarre (Pitjara) is an emerging artist from Utopia, an area known for its respected artists located 240 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Following in her mother Polly Ngale’s footsteps, Kate depicts the Dreamings of the Atnwelarr and Kame (the pencil yam) and the Anwekety (bush plum), traditional stories and knowledge passed down to her.


Anwekety is the Anmatyerre word for conkerberry (or conkleberry), a sweet black berry favoured by desert Aboriginals. They only grow on the plant (Carissa lanceolata ) for a few weeks of the year. However, the Women collect plenty of them and store them dry, soaking them in the water again before being consumed. This fruit looks very similar to a plum, which is why it is often referred to in English by the Anmatyerre people as ‘bush plum’. There is a Dreamtime story for the Anwekety that belongs to the people of Ahalpere country in the Utopia Region. This means anyone from this country can be taught it and hold ceremonies to ensure its productivity. In the Dreamtime, winds blew from all directions, carrying the Anwekety seed over the ancestors’ land, in Ahalpere country. The first Anwekety of the Dreamings grew, bore fruit and dropped more seeds. Many winds blew the seeds all over the Dreaming lands.

Working similarly to her mother and her highly regarded aunt, Kathleen Ngale, Kate creates her Anwekety paintings by building layers of colour to create multi-dimensional images. Her use of vibrant colours creates a dynamic aspect of the paintings, while the combination of heavy and finer brushwork forms subtle layers of blended tones that create visual shifts within the works.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.

3.5, Not 3.0
Color: Medium Set of 6
These balls were almost exactly what I needed. I was replacing my boy’s favorite ball, which is the 3” squeaky, spikey ball that fits in the chuck it launcher. Unfortunately I saw the shiny object next to it and because there were SIX balls and a dollar less, I failed to see that these are 3.5” balls instead of 3”…. Great balls but no fitty in the slingy. Buyer beware. No chuck it no problem. Save a buck.
