Trees at Talaalpi
This design by Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon depicts the trees in Alice's country, Talaalpi. Her country is situated close to Kintore on the Western Australian border. She grew up buying there and moved to Haasts Bluff later in life.
The artist is paid royalties for every metre printed.
