Gloria Petyarre Original 

 Leaves - Acrylic on Linen

Gloria Petyarre (1945–2021), a celebrated artist from Utopia in the Northern Territory, gained international acclaim for her iconic Leaves series. Inspired by the bush medicine leaves of the Kurrajong tree, these works reflect movement, healing, and ancestral knowledge. With flowing brushstrokes and layered colour, Gloria created a visual rhythm that evokes leaves caught in the wind.

Her Leaves paintings became a defining contribution to contemporary Aboriginal art, blending tradition with abstraction. Gloria’s legacy lives on in major public collections worldwide and continues to inspire generations of Indigenous artists.

About the Artist

Gloria Petyarre

Gloria Petyarre (also known as Gloria Pitjara) was one of Australia’s most acclaimed and influential female Aboriginal artists. Internationally recognised for her captivating Bush Medicine Leaf paintings, Gloria developed a distinctive style marked by free-flowing, swirling brushstrokes that became her signature motif.

Her breakthrough came in 1999 when she won the prestigious Wynne Prize for Landscape at the Art Gallery of New South Wales—becoming the first Indigenous Australian to receive a major art award at the institution. Her winning painting, a large-scale abstract of gold and green leaves on a black background, mesmerised audiences. It evoked nature’s rhythms—leaves scattered in the wind, seaweed caught in a tide, or grass dancing in a breeze—and helped redefine perceptions of Aboriginal art.
