Artist

Jade Akamarre (Jade Torres) is an Alyawarre/Anmatyerre artist and the Founding Director of Pwerle Gallery, which represents four generations of her family from Atnwengerrp (Utopia, NT). A fourth-generation painter, she began as a child alongside her great-great aunt Emily Kame Kngwarreye and grandmother Barbara Weir; her great-grandmother is Minnie Pwerle. Jade paints under her skin name Akamarre. In 2021 Barbara entrusted her with Atnwengerrp – My Grandmother’s Country (Awelye), which Jade renders as aerial “talking maps” of tracklines, ceremony grounds and seasonal change—single-pass linear dot work with palettes drawn from Country.

She founded Pwerle Gallery in 2015 (continuing Fred Torres’ DACOU legacy) and advocates for cultural sovereignty and provenance. Projects include collaborations with Porsche Australia, American Express, Samsung, Yamaha, Vinteloper, Significant Other, Onix Mosaic and Clearlight Sauna. Featured by VOGUE, Harper’s BAZAAR and Marie Claire, Jade was a VOGUE Game Changer (2018), InDaily 40 Under 40 finalist (2021), and served on the Brand South Australia board.

Dreaming

In this series, Jade paints her Country as though viewed from above, the tracklines stretching across the canvas like veins that bind people, story, and land together. These pathways form a talking map, recording the journeys of her ancestors and the routes that remain central to community life. By setting them down clearly, she creates a powerful aerial view of Country that speaks openly to memory, identity, and belonging.

The works are both a cultural record and a visual tribute. Each trackline embodies ancestral knowledge, preserving the maps of movement, ceremony, and connection across generations. Through this clarity, Jade continues her family’s tradition of painting Country in a way that is both deeply rooted in heritage and resonant for the present.
