Margaret Turner Petyarre
Margaret was born in 1945 and passed away on the 28th July 2008. She was born at Lake Nash, Utopia region in central Australia.
Margaret was involved in the Batik project of the 1970s, when western craft practices and traditional Indigenous imagery were combined for the first time. Margaret began to paint on canvas in the early 1990s, under the guidance of respected artists of her family, the Petyarre's.
Central Art has removed the artist image in respect of the Petyarre family as well as Aboriginal custom.
