Kathleen Petyarre

Kathleen  became one of Australia’s most highly respected and well-known Aboriginal women painters and won several major competitions including the Telstras in 1996. No important Aboriginal art collection is complete without work from this iconic artist.  She was a founding artist of the very early Batik painting movement in Utopia along with her sisters, and then moved into painting on canvas and linen when the modern Aboriginal art movement began in the late 1980’s
