Josie’s earlier works are quite typical of Utopia Art, much line work depicting Body paint designs and many traditional symbols seen in Central Desert Dot paintings. Her most recent collection titled Bush Tucker & Wild Flower Dreaming portrays the abundance of colours found within the landscape of the Central Desert.
Josie creates visual harmony within her dotted constructions, capturing the essence of the Utopian landscape as she experiences it in desert life.Her work is a fine example of the development of Central Desert dot painting from traditional and ‘tight’ constructions to a fusion of abstracted forms revealing a spiritual and cultural celebration.
