Feature Artist

Born C.1929 Minnie Pwerle began painting in her late 80’s after reconnecting with her daughter, artist Barbara Weir. Minnie lived in the Utopia Community in the Northern Territory where some of the best known artists have developed their craft. Her paintings featured the body paint designs, known as Awelye, and bush melons. Many women from the area painted stories of bush medicine and food or the ceremonies for these.

Gannon House Gallery has developed a large collection of her paintings painted from 2002 through to 2010 when she passed away. You can see the collection below.
