Biography
Marcia Turner Petyarre is one of the next generation of emerging artists to come from the Utopia region.
The daughter of artist Margaret Turner Petyarre, Marcia spent much of her formative artistic years alongside the likes of Minnie Pwerle, Gloria Petyarre and Kathleen Petyarre. Whilst gaining inspiration from these leading artists Marcia has developed a style all of her own, with her linear “body painting” designs creating much interest.
