About Dulcie

Dulcie is the adopted daughter of renowned artist Polly Ngale and the biological daughter of Jeannie Petyarre. Dulcie has continued the strong painting tradition of her extended family. She comes from the Utopia region of the Northern Territory; a community that has astounded the art world since Aboriginal people put paint on canvas in the late 1980s. The Utopia women, in particular, caught the attention of the international art world for their sense of colour, creativity, genius and contemporary appeal. Dulcie grew up surrounded by these artistic prodigies including Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre, Greeny Purvis Petyarre and the Pwerle sisters, Minnie, Emily, Galya, Lizzie and Molly.     

Dulcie began her artistic career depicting the interweaving leaves of the Pencil Yam from the Alhalkere Country of her mother. It is an important bush tucker food for Aboriginal people as well as a significant dreaming story that is celebrated in their Awelye ceremonies. The Pencil Yam and Bush Medicine leaves are a common motif for her creative relatives and Dulcie's work has captivating rhythmic strokes and vibrant colours. Dulcie also paints this story with reverence for its history and with the hope that the spirit of the plants continues.

While continuing her family's tradition of painting this story, Dulcie has also branched out and started to pursue a more individualistic and minimalistic style. Her works depict her ancestral country where important Awelye ceremonies take place. Fine rows of dots marking out the locations of sandhills, bush scrub, river flood plains and sometimes waterholes and ceremonial sites. Despite Dulcie's progress to a more restrained colour palette, there is exceptionally fine attention to detail, complex designs and underlying cultural meaning.

With an impressive portfolio of paintings, subjects and styles already to her name, Dulcie continues the Utopia art tradition of creating bold artworks with colour, style and flair. Time will tell if she will join her family members as one of the greats.

Best of the facial wipes
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 3)
I have used a lot of facial wipes. But, because of environmental reasons I am trying to cut back on the excess use of wipes which will go into a landfill. However, there are times when I am just too tired or too lazy to do a whole cleansing routine at night and I will reach for a wipe. These do a good job of taking off even waterproof makeup and yet still being gentle on the skin. I find I have no sensitivity to them(and I am sensitive to many, many things). I bought them specifically this time for my trip to Thailand because I knew it would be hot and humid and that I probably would need to cleanse my face a couple of times during the day from sweat and grime. They worked and I found them refreshing. I think I will always keep them on hand for the times I need them — this is by far my favorite brand.

Great for Rosacea Skincare
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 6)
My elderly mom has rosacea and these moist Micellar Facial Wipes are the absolute best for cleaning her delicate skin. I was so happy to discover Simple Facial Wipes because I had tried many other brands in the past, but all of the other wipes irritated her face and caused a burning sensation. These wipes are soft, sturdy and unscented. They are also pricier than other brands, but they are well worth the cost.

Best wipes at a great price!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 6)
These are about the best facial cleansing wipes I've found anywhere, and if you buy the bundle it's a great bargain as well. The wipes are gentle on my sensitive skin, but do a thorough job of getting off the makeup, even mascara and eyeliner. My husband was shaking an ink cartridge the other day and black ink sprayed out all over his face and shirt. On impulse we grabbed one of my facial wipes and started to clean the ink off his face. It easily cleaned up all of the ink, even from his mustache and beard with no residue, and I only had to use two of them. That's how effective these wipes are!
