Louise McMillan is an Arrernte woman from the community of Ltyentye Apurte, or Santa Teresa in the Northern Territory, about 80km south-east of Alice Springs. Her younger sister is Rosina McMillan who is also an artist, and they often sit and paint together. Louise has a fine dotting technique that she learned at Santa Teresa School as a young girl. Here, Louise paints the Bush Medicine style, creating vibrant movement with bursts of bright colour. Her repetition of stroke, dot and pattern create a sense of depth and movement upon the canvas.
