Bessie Pitjara's style is very close to that of her mother and aunts, who taught her the history of Bush Plum. The Bush Plum is an important source of food for the women of the bush and, even today, they pick the plums once the fruit has reached maturity.
Bessie Pitjara's paintings depict the Bush Plum and the effect of its growth on her country. She illustrates the topography in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, purple and plum, reflecting the variations in the seasonal palette.
