In her paintings Susie Pitjara Hunter depicts women's ceremonial sites or dreaming places where women are gathered. The women’s bodies are decorated with natural ochres of red, white and yellow. They are painted as if seen from an aerial perspective.

The women sit and chant the songlines that have been passed down to them from their ancestors. It is at these ceremonial meetings that the women pass on their tribal Dreamings to the younger ones. These Dreamings are like the rules of life.

'We paint our bodies here and here and we sing and dance' - Susan Pitjara Hunter
