GRACIE MORTON PWERLE - MOUNTAIN DEVIL LIZARD

Gracie Morton was born in1956 on the Utopia Station. Her language group is Alyawarre. As with other women artists from the Utopia region she began her painting career in the 1980's working with batik, then commenced painting with acrylics on canvas. She often paints the bush plum or bush seed dreaming.

The painting depicts the curling pattern of the Mountain Devil Lizard's skin. In the Dreamtime stories it is believed the lizard collected then deposited these ochre colours throughout the Utopian area. Aboriginal people use these colours for body painting in their ceremonies. Some members of the Petyarre family bear markings on their skin, similar to that found on the Mountain Devil Lizard
