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

This limited-edition print of 100 has been developed from the original artwork featured in the winning Living & Dining room of House 5 on The Block with Robby & Mat. Measuring 80cm x 147cm, it can be hung vertically or horizontally, offering versatility in any space.

In this series, Jade paints her Country from an aerial perspective, with 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. The work becomes both a cultural record and a visual tribute, where each line carries ancestral knowledge of movement, ceremony, and connection across generations.

By setting these stories down with clarity, Jade continues her family’s tradition of painting Country in a way that is deeply rooted in heritage yet powerfully resonant for the present. This limited edition offers collectors the rare opportunity to own an Aboriginal artwork that not only carries cultural depth and significance, but has also been celebrated nationally through its feature on The Block.
