Mary Ngala Jones style was distinctively minimalist and she used a very delicate dotting technique and traditional colours derived from natural ochres. Her Dreaming was the Bush Plum known to the Alyawarr as Arnwekety. Her painting reflects the changing seasons on the Bush Plum (Arnwekety) plant across her country of Arlparra. The Arnwekety is a rich source of vitamin c and is highly sought after by these bush women. Arnwekety can be found at Utopia from March through to May. Arrarntenh is a larger, grape size fruit and ranges in colour from a transparent skin through to light yellows and oranges, maturing into a bright pink or purple. Mary Ngala Jones is no longer producing artworks.
