Jean Appleton is represented in many state and regional galleries as well as other public collections in Australia and overseas including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. She was the recipient of many coveted awards including the inaugural Portia Geach Memorial Prize in 1965.

“Jean Appleton’s practice has always tended to still lifes and landscape, and since the mid-1970s at least she has been almost exclusively involved in painting interiors – works which at one level vary little in the flowers, fruits, furniture, jugs and drapery they utilise – and yet provide, as the still-life genre has traditionally done, endless possibilities for the artist to contemplate reality, experiment visually, and construct a vocabulary of creative expression."

This work shows the rockholes of the artists country - Talaalpi - in Western Australia. This area is in habited by the porcupine, which is Alice's Tjukurrpa (personal dreaming).

Eubena Nampitjin is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries as well as many other public collections throughout Australia.

Eubena has painted some of her country south west of Balgo, along the Canning Stock Route.

The strong lines in the painting depict the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country.
