Background

Gracie is of the Alyawarre language group. She was born in 1956 at Utopia Station, approximately 250km north-east of Alice Springs. Her family's traditional country is associated with the Mosquito Bore (Lyentye) region, an out-station of Utopia where Gracie, together with her husband and two children, moved some years ago. She is the daughter of artist Myrtle Petyarre who is half-sister to the famous Utopian artist Kathleen Petyarre.

Gracie began her painting career in the 1980's at Utopia working initially with batik before transposing her designs onto canvas. Her paintings are distinctively minimalist, highlighted by delicate dotting and a traditional palette. Her most commonly depicted subject is the bush plum known to the Alyawarre people as Arnwekety.
