================================
Mary MORTON KEMARRE is an Aboriginal artist from the Utopia District.
This work is part of the art movement called "Slow Painting".
Her works, found in many private and public collections, are now highly sought due to her technique and age limiting her production and allowing her to create only a few works per year.
