Margaret Scobie - Bush Leaves Aboriginal Art Painting. Contemporary Colours.

Acrylic on canvas. Painted in 2019.
Comes with Certificate of Authority. Stretched and ready to hang.
Margaret Scobie was born in 1948 at Woola Downs, located east of Ti-Tree, Northern Territory. She hails from an influential family of renowned artists, is a cousin to the Pwerle sisters (Gloria, Ada & Kathleen to name a few), and a niece to the world famous Emily Kame Kngwarreye. As a senior Anmatyerre woman she is active within Alice Spring’s community. Developing her own unique style, Margaret paints a selection of her family’s dreaming, primarily the “Bush Medicine Leaves”. Being drawn to vibrant colours she effortlessly displays her talents and skills onto canvas, advocating her to be a desired addition to anyone’s collection.
This vivid painting is of bush medicine leaves. The collecting of these leaves has long been a part of traditional Aboriginal culture and is key in the secret world of women’s business. Leaves from many different plants are collected and stored for medicinal uses. The leaves are boiled and mashed with animal fats (emu or kangaroo) making a medicinal paste which can last for many months. The paste is then applied to the skin to heal a multitude of afflictions such as headaches, bites, rashes, infections, coughs, colds, fevers, diarrhoea, wounds, aches, stings, sore eyes and toothache. The leaves are also steeped in hot water to make an infusion or healing tea.
