Aboriginal Artists Series – Part 2

Our next featured artist is Christine Doolan. Like so many of the Aboriginal artists, she learned her art from family members and, as such, is part of the famous Doolan family. Her art is both bold and neat. Many of her pieces are on display at art galleries in Alice Springs. Let’s look at two of her designs:

1. Wild Flora: This pattern is based on the Northern Territory of Australia. It’s a beautiful place. A semi-desert, however, you can see the greenery of nature along the MacDonald range. A good winter rain will bring out many colorful flowers everywhere. This pattern depicts the wild flowers beautifully in all three color ways.
2. Fresh Life After Rain: Central Australia is a semi-desert area, also. Rainfall is, therefore, very rare. Vegetation is not plentiful, but after several months Alice Springs gets a good rainfall. Suddenly, the area comes alive with wildflowers everywhere. The entire territory gets new life. You’re greeted with an amazing array of colors, such as yellow, purple, red, green and much more. This is captured in Fresh Life After Rain with great imagination and artwork.
