Natalie (Natalea) Holmes Pula is a young Anmatyarr painter, born in 1985. She is from the Utopia region of the Northern Territory and is one of the region’s talented younger generation artists. The tradition of painting in the region is strong, based on body paint designs used in ceremony, and relate to the artists family genealogy and inherited lands. Holmes’s precise geometric abstract designs are based on the body designs that women paint on their bodies for ceremony. In recreating these in paint, she is paying homage to both her country and the women who care for it.

Natalie's paintings often contain shimmer - the optical movement created by fine lines, which represents the spiritual power of the creation ancestors and is a highly prized quality within the field of Aboriginal art.
