Evelyn Pultara
Evelyn Pultara is an outstanding artist from the Utopia region of the Northern Territory. She was born some time around 1940 at Woodgreen Station, the cattle property adjoining Utopia Station. She is an Anmatyerre woman.
Like her late aunt Emily Kame Kngwarreye and her full brother Greeny Purvis, Evelyn Pultara was born with bush yam (pencil yam) as her ‘totem’. The bush yam (atnwelarr) has been an abundant source of food and water for the Anmatyerre people for countless years. The pencil yam is a slender twining plant with yellow pea flowers and edible tubers. As her totem, it is Evelyn’s responsibility to pay homage to it through song and dance in ceremony – and now in art.
