My Country and Bush Medicine, Betty Pula Morton, 2016
Huge congratulations to Betty Pula Morton winner of First Nations category in the inaugural annual National Capital Art Prize.
Betty is immensely talented and this prize is well deserved. As this prize attests, Betty’s body of work and reputation as an artist is going from strength to strength.
We are lucky enough to represent Betty’s work in the UK. In addition to selling her original paintings we created fabrics and wallpapers from one of her canvases selected on a trip to the Central Desert art centre in 2017. You can see these and the original artwork in our Tetbury, Cotswolds art gallery.
When buying anything from Bay Gallery Home you are supporting artists like Betty, their family and wider community, including the art centre who make it possible for the Aboriginal artists to bloom.
Betty Pula Morton’s My Country and Bush Medicine painting has been translated onto fabrics and wallpapers as part of Bay Gallery Home ‘My Country’ Aboriginal interiors collection.
Our Ruth Red Goanna Dreaming velvet cushion on one of the amazing sofas you can find at Treacle George in Tetbury, the Cotswolds.
Sadly we have had to close our doors again but we’re still trading online and by appointment during this winter lockdown. If you follow the gallery safety protocols you can pick up any purchases safely or we can send them to you via Royal Mail, Parcelforce or DHL.
Please keep an eye for new paintings on the website and Instagram, you’ll also be able to see new developments in the ‘My Country’ collection. Our made in Britain new cushion collection is online and we’ve uploaded photos of our made to order ottomans. Fabric is available by the metre so if you want to practice your upholstery or sewing skills we have beautiful fabrics in the gallery you can’t get anywhere else.
Don’t forget Tetbury’s small independent shops during this lockdown. We’re all working so hard to bring you things of beauty you can’t get anywhere else.
We watched with horror as the queue snaked down the road from the post office as people returned lockdown purchases to Amazon. Please shop locally and/or from independents across the UK.
