Gracie Ngala Morton Pwerle

Gracie was born on Utopia Station.  As with the other women artists from the Utopia region, she began her painting career in the 1980s working with batik, then commenced painting with acrylics on canvas.  She has always lived a traditional lifestyle, spending her early years collecting bush foods and living off the land.  This was the way of life for central desert families throughout the generations.  Her education involved living and surviving in a desert environment just as her mother had done.  Her style of painting is distinctively minimalist: she uses a very delicate dotting technique and traditional colours, which derive from the colours of natural ochres.  Her signature theme in her paintnings is the bush plum known to the Alyawarre as Arnwekety.
