Lizzie Moss Pula is a senior artist from Utopia, a community located 240 kilometres north east of Alice Springs. She was involved in the Batik project of the 1970s, when Western craft practices and traditional Indigenous imagery were combined for the first time and she was one of the early artists who began to use acrylic paint and anvas in the 1980s. Lizzie is a first cousin of the famed Pwerle sisters- Minnie, Emily and Galya and has has a profound knowledge and respect for her country, and this is reflected in her paintings. Her works have been exhibited in exhibitions in leading private galleries around Australia and her main painting themes are those of her country - in which she recreates an aerial perspective of her country of Atnwengerrp - those of Bush Orange Dreamings and the subject of this painting - Awelye - or women's ceremony in which women paint themselves up and perform ceremonies to ensure the fertility of the land, its plants and animals. The lines in this painting are reminiscent of the patterns the women paint on their bodies and the lines in the sand they make which dancing the ceremony.

Lizzie’s works have featured in a number of important exhibitions.
