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.

High quality - thick paper towels
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
This is a solid choice if you want something stronger and more absorbent than standard paper towels. They have a soft, cloth and works well for spills, wiping counters, and general kitchen cleanup, and they usually hold up better so you can use fewer sheets per mess. The paper towel is very thick and super convenient for multi use. This pack of 12 rolls is valuable but also slightly on the more expensive side.

Strong, Cloth-Like Paper Towels
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
I picked up the Viva Multi-Surface Cloth paper towels (task size, 12 super rolls), and they’ve quickly become my go-to for everyday cleaning. The biggest standout is how durable and cloth-like they feel. Unlike thinner paper towels that tear easily, these are thick and strong enough to handle tougher messes without falling apart. I’ve used them for everything from kitchen spills to wiping down counters and even light scrubbing. The task-size sheets are actually really convenient. You can use a smaller piece for quick cleanups, which helps reduce waste and makes the rolls last longer than expected. They’re also surprisingly absorbent. One sheet can handle more liquid than I expected, so I don’t find myself grabbing multiple sheets every time. That’s a big plus when you’re cleaning up bigger spills. Another thing I like is that they hold together well even when wet. You can rinse and reuse them briefly for certain tasks, which isn’t something you can do with most paper towels. If I had one downside, it’s that they’re a bit more expensive than basic brands. But considering how much you use less per mess, it kind of balances out. Overall, these are high-quality, reliable paper towels that feel closer to a reusable cloth than disposable paper. Great for anyone who wants something tougher and more efficient for everyday cleaning.

Best Paper Towel
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
a typical paper towel. They’re very absorbent, don’t fall apart when wet, and handle large spills with fewer sheets. They do cost more than basic brands, but the performance makes them feel like a small household upgrade. Once you start using them, it’s hard to go back to thinner options.

Not as good as original Viva, but still a great towel and worth the money
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
VIVA has been my favorite paper towel for 10 years!! I have been given the name of the paper towel nat** (I do not want to offend anyone). I make you use them only for certain things and use as few as possible. This is due to the price. But with Viva they can be rinsed and used many times, like when wiping countertops. This makes them go far for the money and I have to not be as strict. I thought I would try this new type as it looked like it would be more cost effective. I like them but there are so many less, we are going through them very fast. I will be going back to the original type when these are gone. I decorate cakes, using both fondant, and buttercream icings. These towels are fantastic for smoothing out the icings. Look up the technique on YouTube. They are the best for this. I can never be without my Viva but will go back to.the original type.

Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
It’s not as nice as the charming toilet paper I was expecting it to be just as good or or a little at least a little bit charming, but it wasn’t. It’s not harsh, but it’s kind of thin so I really wasn’t happy with that.
