Gracie is the daughter of Myrtle Petyarre, who is one of the seven renowned artists affectionately called ‘The Petyarre Sisters” including; Gloria, Kathleen, Ada Bird, Violet, Nancy and Jean.

Gracie began her career as an artist in the late 1980’s during the ‘Summer Project’ where acrylic paints and canvas were introduced to the Utopia Community.

Gracie has a unique style of delicate dotting and colour variations used in an aerial perspective to portray the seasonal changes from flower to fruit of the Bush Plum known to the Alyawarre people as Arnwekety. It is a plant of great significance to the women of Gracie’s traditional country (Eastern Desert).

As one of the Senior Custodians for both the Altyerre (Dreaming) and the vast expanse of related country. She is responsible for preserving the Bush Plum Dreaming passed down to by her family and the stories related to Women.

Gracie has established herself as prominent artist to emerge from Utopia with numerous exhibitions throughout Australia and internationally.

This painting was purchased directly from Gracie and a gallery certificate of authenticity will be provided with the sale.
