Rayleen Price

Rayleen Price Pula, a leading artist from the Utopia region of Central Australia, embarks on a vibrant artistic journey steeped in ancestral knowledge and profound Dreaming stories. She was born around 1969 and comes from a family of artists, including her famous mother, Margaret Price Penangke. Alongside her husband, Richard Moore, another talented artist, Rayleen finds inspiration in the vibrant artistic community of Utopia. She’s also a well-known Indigenous Australian artist from the Utopia region, particularly known for her detailed dot paintings depicting stories and symbols of her country.

Rayleen’s paintings are full of life and energy. She uses dots and lines in special patterns to create her artwork. These patterns have been passed down through generations and tell stories about the land, the people, and the spirits.

Two important themes in Rayleen’s paintings are bush medicine and Dreaming. Bush medicine is the traditional healing knowledge of Indigenous Australians. Dreaming stories are ancient tales about the creation of the world and the spirits that connect all things.

Rayleen’s paintings are also about the women’s ceremonies of Utopia. These ceremonies are important for celebrating life, healing, and connecting with ancestors.
