About Gracie Morton Pwerle

Gracie Morton Pwerle, an esteemed Aboriginal artist, was born in the early 1910s in the Utopia region of Central Australia. She belonged to the Alyawarre and Anmatyerre language groups, and her ancestral connections played a significant role in shaping her artistic journey.

Gracie's paintings evoke a sense of spirituality, connecting the viewer to the ancient wisdom and traditions of her people.
