Gladdy Kemarre is one of the few women in this area painting scenes depicting tribal life (hunting, fighting, meeting) at the turn of the twentieth century.

In this historical picture relating to events of at least 100 years ago before white men came to the Central Desert region, Gladdy Kemarre depicts the relationships between the different tribes of the region. Int his painting Gladdy joyfully paints the desert in vivid green after the wet season. Alyawarr men are hunting and gathering tucker, sharing food, meeting and warring.

'Lots of tucker here after rain - we all hunt for kangaroo.' - Gladdy Kemarre
