Bessie Purvis Petyarre commenced her painting career in 2005. Her mother, the late Polly Ngale, was one of the most esteemed and sought-after artists in Utopia. Bessie has received support and learned about her culture and the technique of Dreamtime depiction from her mother and aunts.
Her "Bush Plum Dreaming" paintings are inspired by three distinguished figures: her father-in-law, Kubbitji Kngwarreye, Aunty Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and her mother, Polly. These works depict her homeland, Alhalkere, and all that it encompasses. Her Dreamings originate from both her parents, with her learning the Antwelarr and Kame Dreamtime stories from her father, and the Anwekety Dreaming from her mother.
The Antwerre and Kame Dreamtime stories are particularly significant to Bessie’s homeland. " Antwelarr " pertains to the plant, and " Kame " refers to the seed. These themes are most frequently represented in Bessie's paintings, which also feature women's ceremonies that are continually performed to honour the spirit of the Bush Plum and to ensure its ongoing productivity.
About the Painting
The Bush Plum is a vital part of the narrative of this region and serves as a major food source gathered by women. The women collect as much as possible, given that the fruit is only harvestable for several weeks each year.
Bessie employs a topographical technique to illustrate the growth patterns of the Bush Plum, building layers of paint through dotting, smearing, and varied brushstrokes. This method allows her to visually celebrate the seasonal variations and cultural importance of the Bush Plum.

Not Suitable for Power Chewers
Size: Large
Coconut fiber toys aren’t ideal for heavy chewers. They shred easily, can be swallowed, and may cause choking or intestinal blockages. The coffee wood is a safe durable product and loved but my dogs. I wish I would have done more research before buying the coconut fibers chew.

Dogs love them, not long lasting
Size: Large
Our dogs ignored the toy for the first day or two, then immediately became obsessed, working on them for hours at a time.
They did come with big cracks/splits in them. The first one it wasn’t a big deal, but the dogs pulled large slivers and chunks off the second within minutes of using it. Also, gigantic mess around the house, like letting them play with a stick. I plan to continue to buy since the dogs love them but I do think they are a bit expensive given the quality variations.

Durable, good value, clean, natural
Size: Small, Size: Small
I bought this coffee wood toy with the coconut rope for my heavy chewer (Jack Russell Terrier) a couple of years ago. I was pretty skeptical that it would last very long and be a toy that she would enjoy. This is one of her favorite toys, it's lasted for 2+ years, and it's not gross after so much use. This dog shredded everything in sight when she was a puppy, so it was important to find her lots of different hard toys. I bought another coffee wood toy with no rope, and she doesn't care for it as much. We might have to drill a hole and add a coconut rope when this one get's too small. I have not had an issue with the coconut fibers or wood pulp, though I'm sure she's ingesting some. I have had to take away many hard toys that she managed to chew off large bits or I felt like she was eating bits of plastic, but this one has been safe for her. She was already an adult dog when I got her this toy, so I cannot vouch for how it would work for a puppy, but I suspect that it would have been a toy that I would only let her have under supervision when she was a puppy. I like that it is made from natural materials.

Flimsy rope
Size: Large
This was definitely not sturdy enough for a large dog "up to 80 lbs" as stated. My 7 month old Shepherd puppy shredded the rope part in about 5 minutes. The chew stick is a hit but very small. Flimsy for the cost!

Fast Chew
Size: Medium
Didn’t last as long as I expected. My Frenchie chewed through it in record time. I will purchase another one to see if it’s the same as the one I received.
