Biography
Born c.1941 at the sheep camp on Old McDonald station, Pwerle is an Eastern Anmatyerre speaker whose traditional country lies on the western side of the Sandover River on Utopia station, stretching west onto Mt Skinner station. He is the younger brother of Louis Pwerle , and custodian of a secondary series of Dreaming sites over the same area, the great variety of which can be seen in his paintings. The name 'Cowboy’ comes from his reputation as a stockman and his 'flashy’ dressing. Married to sisters Carol and Elizabeth Kngwarreye, he lives most of the time at Mosquito Bore (Lytntye), but also spends time at Boundary Bore on the western boundary of Utopia land and Soakage Bore (Atnarare), south-east of Lytntye. His work has been shown in several exhibitions in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane. Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011
