Selina Teece Pwerle was born in 1977 in her traditional country of
Antarrengeny, which lies in Alyawarr country north of the Utopia region
approximately 240 km north east of Alice Springs. Selina grew up
surrounded by artists and amidst the growing interest in art from the
Utopia region. She developed her own artistic talents as a young woman
and has developed her own unique styles to represent the plants, flowers
and landscapes of her country. She especially paints her country after
rains when it is blanketed with lush grasses and flowers.

A
favoured theme is the leaves of the spinifex plant as they move in the
wind, while gum blossoms outlined in delicate dots and lines are
featured in others. Her luminous landscapes are of her father's country
and that of her birthplace of Antarrengeny in the heart of Alywarre
lands. In brilliant colour and precise detail her expansive vistas
depict the rivers, red earth, trees, flowers, hills and the
ever-changing light of the Outback with an intimacy born of her own
observations and life long knowledge of these lands and that of her
forebears who have lived on them for millennia.
