Lily Lion beautiful inspiring paintings have the physical presence of the much contemporary work of art.

Lily pays particular attention to details, painting with with fascinating accuracy of macroscopically tiny dots and delicate brush strokes and intricate shades of colour, Lily Lion artworks give an illusion of multi dimensional appearance.

Lily depicts Rainbow (Mpwelarr), Ilyarn and Ilyarnayt flower story, Tharrkarr, Yerramp (Honey Ant) and Alpeyt (flowers).

Grevillea Dreaming and Acacia Flower (Ilyarnayt flower), Ilyarnayt and Alhepalh types of wattles.

Other Dreaming that Lily paints are Sweet Honey Grevillea (Tharrkarr ), Honey Ant (Yerramp) and (Alpeyt) Flowers and also 'Ilyarnayt' seeds and Ilyarnayt flowers.

Lily Lion Dreamtime stories belong to the Ngkawarlerlarnem and Arnkawenyerr countries.

Ilyarn or Ilyarnayt plant is a common variety of Acacia. It is particularly appreciated for the abundance of edible grubs living in its roots (known simply as ilyarnayt and are similar to a witchetty grub) and also its seeds (ntang ilyarnayt).

These seeds can be collected, ground into a paste and used for making damper (bread).

Acacia has small lemon-yellow ball flowers and many artists from Ngkwarlerlanem and Arnkawenyerr in northern Utopia are found to paint them.

 

The seeds are also found in Liliy paintings, represented through tiny dot work. This is an important Dreamtime story for this plant that belongs to the Utopia county.
