Biography:

Jeannie Petyarre (Pitjara) was a prominent artist from the Utopia region. She was born in c.1956 on the Boundary Bore Outstation of Utopia in Central Australia. She was the niece to Emily Kame Kngwarreye, one of Australia's most significant artists.

All of Jeannie's Dreamtime stories came from Alhalkere Country and were passed down to her from her father's side. Jeannie painted the Yam Seed, Yam Leaf, Yam Flower Dreamings, body paint, Mountain Devil Lizard and My Country Dreamings. Jeannie's tribal name was "Angiltha" which means little lizard.

Jeannie became well known for her colourful, flowing paintings of Bush Yam Leaves.
