Biography
An Alyawarre speaker, born c.1952 on Utopia Station, she is the oldest daughter of Billy Morton Petyarre and his wife, Mary Morton. The family formerly lived at Ngkwarlerlaneme, but have recently established an outstation on their country at Ngkawenyerre, near Lucky’s Dreaming place, on the northern area of Utopia in the heart of Alyawarre lands. Like most of the Utopia artists, she did her first works on canvas with acrylics as part of CAAMA’s 1988-9 Summer project. Her principal Dreaming is Rainbow, which she often depicts in her paintings with dominant multi-coloured striped arcs. Lucky’s other Dreamings include Tjarpa Lanait (Witchetty Grub) and various other bush tucker species. She is also a skilled wood carver. Her younger sister is painter Janice Kngwarreye .
