About Roseanne Morton

Roseanne Morton Petyarre, an Anmatyerre woman, hails from the Utopia region of Central Australia, where she was born in Boundary Bore in 1984. Situated 280 km north-east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Utopia provided the backdrop for Roseanne's traditional upbringing, as she attended school there to remain close to her family.

As a scion of a family of esteemed artists, Roseanne is the daughter of the highly regarded Utopia artist Gracie Morton Pwerle and the granddaughter of the internationally acclaimed Kathleen Petyarre. The artistic tradition within Roseanne's family and the broader Utopia community runs deep. Not only are Gracie's aunties artists, but her sisters, Mary, Rita, and Elizabeth, also contribute to this rich legacy. From a young age, Roseanne absorbed the art of painting her Dreamings, associated ceremonies, and bush foods from her mother, aunties, and grandmothers. She represents an exciting new generation of artists from this region's Petyarre/Pwerle families.

Roseanne resides in Utopia with her husband, James Morris, a Papunya artist, and their two children. Possessing immense talent, this third-generation artist undoubtedly anticipates a long and prosperous career.

About Gracie Morton Pwerle (Mother 1956 - 2024)

Gracie Morton Pwerle, born on Utopia Station around 1956, hails from a family with a rich artistic tradition deeply rooted in the Utopia community. She is the daughter of the renowned artist Myrtle Petyarre and the sister of the well-known artists Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre. Moreover, her sisters, Mary, Rita, and Elizabeth, also carry forward the family's artistic legacy.

Gracie Morton Pwerle embarked on her artistic journey in the late 1980s during the "A Summer Project," which introduced acrylic paints and canvas to the women of Utopia. Her artistry has been widely acclaimed across Australia and internationally. As a senior traditional custodian of the Arnwekety (Bush Plum) Dreaming, Gracie is entrusted with the responsibility of preserving the Dreaming, customs, and traditions associated with the Bush Plum in accordance with traditional law, a duty passed down to her from her father and aunt.

The focal point of Gracie's artwork is the Arnwekety, through which she portrays the seasonal variations that influence the plant. Her creations exude a captivating lyricism, fostering a three-dimensional visual effect that guides the viewer through the soft, outward-reaching fields of color.

Gracie Morton Pwerle's artworks grace major private collections, including the esteemed Holmes à Court Collection, and are frequently exhibited throughout Australia. She has also participated in international exhibitions in China, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands.

The Story of the Bush Plum Dreaming

Roseanne's artwork emanates from a foundation of traditional knowledge, showcasing her proficient painting approach through the meticulous assembly of bush seed images. The layering of dots characterizes this method to create a dense surface, employing a vivid color palette.

Her subject matter derives from acute observation and memory, reflecting an intimate understanding of the land, interwoven with personal history and ancestral journey.

The Bush Plum Dreaming Story is a significant narrative spanning the western and central deserts, from Lajamanu and Warlpiri country to the Utopia homelands. Originating from the Utopia region, the Dreaming or Creation Story of the Bush Plum recounts the dispersal of bush plum seeds to the artists' ancestral lands by winds during the Dreamtime. The first bush plum of the Dreamings grew, bore fruit, and dispersed its seeds across the lands through the gusts of the winds.

To ensure the perennial fruiting of the bush plum, the Aboriginal people pay homage to its spirit through ceremonial song, dance, and paintings. The patterns in these paintings symbolize the plant's fruit, leaves, flowers, and body paint designs associated with it during ceremonies. The bush plum, a sought-after type of bush tucker, is only available at specific times of the year and is distributed throughout most of the Utopia region and as far west as Lajamanu. However, its abundance has dwindled due to the grazing of introduced animals, especially cattle and rabbits.

My dogs absolutely love these! I bought them at a great price! They have lasted my dogs over a year! I have a full pitbull, pit/lab, pit/boxer, and a pit/mastiff. So needless to say they pass the power jaw test. They look just like the pictures and they are pretty light weight!

Benebone is fantastic for heavy chewers and busy, adolescent pups!
Size: Medium, Style: 4 Pack
This little multi-pack is cost-effective in a few ways, super durable and effective, and I'll definitely be purchasing the multi-pack again. We discovered these about a year ago and have been buying them ever since. I'm just now getting around to reviewing them because they're that good, plus I love that the company is family-owned. Four "bones" lasts a little over a month for a power chewer, which is a bargain! You get 4 medium size "bones" for the retail price of 2. These smell delicious to dogs but humans can detect the odor, which is so nice. They are incredibly durable, but somehow also not too hard for a power chewer, and they keep pup from chewing on books and other items that we don't wanted chewed to bits. Heavy chewers (and their people!) love these and the variety of shapes means we can swap them out in rotation and keep pup's interest going for a few weeks. Wait until your pup has all of their adult teeth, as they are a little too hard for teething. And for super power chewers, watch out for the fish shaped chew, as this one seems to allow larger pieces to be chewed off the fish head "corners" more easily due to the relative thinness of the shape at that point when compared to the other 3 shapes. Keep an eye on how much your power chewer is taking off of these "bones" (little tiny pieces do get chewed off) and toss them (or recycle with Benebone!) when your dog is able to chew off more than a crumb size piece. Hooray for Benebone! Hooray for family-owned businesses! We'll be back for more!

Seems Very Durable So Far
Size: Small, Style: 4 Pack
My dogs are really enjoying these chew toys! These keep them busy for hours!! So far they seem very durable and my little dogs can really chew and destroy so I’m happy about these so far! They rarely each chew a toy at the same time, but choose to take turns instead. But now they each have a chew toy and they are happy campers!!

Recommended by my breeder
Size: Small, Style: Wishbone/Dental
Purchased these two small sized Benebones for my puppy Springer Spaniel. It’s one of her favorite toys and it is well used and well worn. Replaced these with the medium size recently as she’s almost full grown now.
