  • Gloria was born around 1942 in the remote artist community of Utopia, Northern Territory (250km north-east of Alice Springs). Gloria Sadly passed away on June 8th 2021.

    Gloria Petyarre is one of seven sisters who are well known Indigenous artists, including Kathleen Petyarre, Nancy Petyarre, Violet Petyarre and Ada Bird. She is also the niece of Emily Kame Kngwarreye.

    Gloria won Australia's longest running art prize, the Wynne Prize in 1999 with "Bush Medicine Leaves" being the first Indigenous person to win one of the Art Gallery of New South Wales's major prizes.
