About Jeannie

Jeannie Petyarre (Pitjara) was born in c.1956 on the Boundary Bore Outstation of Utopia in Central Australia. An established artist in Utopia, Jeannie is the niece of the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye. In the early 1980s, when Jeannie was living at Boundary Bore Outstation with her family, husband Henry Long Kemarre, and their six children, Jeannie was introduced to the art of Batik. Jeannie was encouraged by her aunt, Emily Kngwarreye to continue to paint her family's Yam Dreaming. In 1990, her work was chosen to be part of the Robert Holmes à Court Collection, which toured extensively and was featured in their book "Utopia - A Picture Story". All of Jeannie's Dreamtime stories come from the Alhalkere Country and are passed down to her from her father's side.

Jeannie paints the Yam Seed, Yam Leaf, Yam Flower Dreamings, body paint, Mountain Devil Lizard, and My Country Dreamings. Jeannie's tribal name is "Angiltha" which means little lizard.

About the artwork

In this painting, Jeannie paints bush medicine leaves with precise, fine strokes. The Bush Medicine Plant is an Australian native that grows wild in Central Australia. Women go to different places around Utopia to collect leaves from these plants. Back at the camp, the leaves are boiled to extract the resin. Kangaroo fat is mixed into the resin, creating a paste that can be stored for a long time in bush conditions. This medicine is used to heal cuts, wounds, bites, rashes and also acts as an insect repellent.

By painting "Bush Medicine Leaves", Jeannie is paying homage to the spirit of the medicine plant in the hope that it will regenerate, enabling the people to continue to benefit from its healing properties.

History

Jeannie has participated in various group exhibitions around Australia and several exhibitions toured the USA, United Arab Emirates, France, Italy, Turkey, and China. Some of her paintings are held in well-known and highly regarded collections such as the Holmes à Court Collection and the National Gallery of Australia.

Excellent customer service and good product.
Color: Black
Really like this frother a lot, with the attachments. Great price and works well. That being said, it suddenly stopped working after a few months, to my dismay. However, upon reaching out to the company, they replaced it very quickly. So I do recommend it!

Great frother, dumb charger
Color: Black
Works well. I got this to replace my battery powered milk frother from IKEA. I use it to make a protein shake every day. I just take a 16oz glass, fill it halfway with milk, add a scoop of protein powder, and mix it with the frother, using a combo of low and medium power, but realistically, low is all you need for that purpose. Been using it everyday for the past almost month since I got it, haven't had to recharge it and it's still working great. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the charger is micro USB. Not using USB-C in 2025 is honestly just insulting. Change that and you have a 5-star product.

10/10 – I’ve Already Bought Three!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I absolutely love this frother. It works in multiple ways and makes the perfect creamy blend every morning with my protein and collagen. It’s powerful, easy to use, and the charging stand is super convenient. I loved it so much that I purchased one for myself, one for my mom, and one for my best friend’s mom. What really impressed me was the customer service. Mine stopped working at full strength, and they walked me through troubleshooting. When that didn’t fix the issue, they immediately sent me a replacement. That level of support makes a huge difference. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be gifting more of these!

Stopped working in 4 months
Color: Black
It’s hard to find a whisker that has good reviews. I was hopeful with this one because I wanted multiple attachments and speeds. When I received it I was close to returning it because the attachments were hard to take off and very fragile. I should have returned it at that point because 4 months later Ive missed the return window. I did not use often and if I did it would have broken sooner. All of the sudden it stopped spinning. I recharged it overnight and it didn’t help. Of the three speeds, non work except the middle speed that spins at a wonky pace, and turns off randomly. It’s garbage.
