Betty Mbitjana comes from a family group and community which has produced some of the most famous and influential Aboriginal artists. Born in the 1950’s and from the Utopia region in Central Australia, Betty is the daughter of famous artist Minnie Pwerle. Her aunts include Emily Pwerle, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Molly and Gayla Pwerle. She was married to Paddy Club.  Betty credits her mother with introducing her to the world of modern art. Through her art, Betty pays homage to her heritage, cultural knowledge, and connection to her country. When comparing mother and daughter’s art you are able to clearly see the differences in brush stroke, texture and movement of the art. he paintings are distinctive and full of colour and movement with the key story being Bush Melon and Awelye ceremonies. The Awelye designs reflect the body pain designs which are painted onto women during ceremonies. These designs have been passed down for many generations with only the Pwerle or Kemarre skin having custodianship. The actual ceremony is an opportunity for women to pay homage to their ancestors and show respect for their country. The Bush Melon is depicted as small roundels whilst the larger ones reflect water soakages, women would often collect these fruits and cut them into pieces and onto skewers to dry and be eaten later when food was scarce. Betty is in the prime of her career and her artworks are very affordable and appeal to a wide section clients.Central Art included Betty in a 2008 exhibition titled “Self-Representing Artists” and her artworks have sold extremely well over several years.
