In this painting, Pearl Austin depicts her homeland Umoona,Coober Pedy. Various colors ranging from blues, pinks, reds, oranges, and creamy whites represent important landmarks, waterholes, and the diverse terrain of the desert plains. The energetic punu work brings the canvas to life, vividly portraying the dynamic essence of the land.
Umoona Arts is located in Umoona Community, Coober Pedy, in the north of South Australia. Established in 2020, Umoona Arts joins neighbouring art centres on the APY Lands with the central aim of building capacity for sustainable employment pathways through the art centre. Community members have commenced work with passion and focus. There is a collective spirit of ambition and drive, as a long-held dream of owning and operating their own art centre has finally become a reality. Umoona Community is diverse, with artists from different language groups across the central desert working alongside those who have always called Umoona and Coober Pedy home. Artists embrace a variety of mediums including acrylic paint on linen, punu work and carving (wood-work), tjanpi (fibre weaving) and ceramics, with works demonstrating a diversity of styles alongside a vibrant use of colour and energetic mark making.
