Kaye Pwerl Beasley

Kaye Beasley is an Alyawarr woman from Wutunugurra (Epenarra). She began her artistic career around 2010 when the Wutunugurra community art centre was first established in a silver bullet caravan. Kaye paints the landscapes and bush medicine subject matter typical of the Epenarra artists collective she works among, but has developed her own striking interpretation. Kaye’s Bendy Flowers are a strong modernistic depiction of a common type of bush flower that appears after the rain, while the arcs of the flower stems evoke the hilly country surrounding Wutunugurra. Kaye has at various times assisted Barkly Arts as the arts worker in Wutunugurra, worked as an assistant teacher at the school and assisted literacy programs in the community along with maintaining her painting practice.
