Artist Profile
Gracie was born c. 1956 in Utopia, Northern Territory where she still resides today. Gracie is part of the famous Petyarre family – her mother is senior artist Myrtle Petyarre and her Aunties include Gloria, Kathleen, Violet, and the late Nancy and Ada Bird Petyarre, all international artists.
Along with her mother and famous aunties, Gracie started to paint on batik in the 1980’s and her work was featured in the prestigious Robert Holmes à Court Collection.
Gracie started painting on canvas in 1992. Using very delicate dots, Gracie depicts the bush plum seeds, a significant part of the dreamings and ceremonies owned by the people from the Utopia region. Gracie’s work has been exhibited and collected throughout Australia and Overseas.
