Bessie’s artworks often depicted the natural elements of her country, including bush tucker (traditional food sources), native animals, and the diverse flora found in the arid landscape.

The Bush Plum is a common style that Bessie draws on in her artworks, Bessie's skillful use of colour and intricate patterns created a sense of movement and energy, reflecting her deep connection to the land and its spiritual significance.

As her career progressed, Bessie Pitjara's artwork gained recognition both nationally and internationally. Her pieces were exhibited in galleries and art institutions across Australia and featured in renowned exhibitions worldwide. Bessie's work resonated with audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Indigenous Australians and fostering a greater understanding of Aboriginal art.
