Presentation
Dolly Petyarre Mills was born in January 1948 at Boundary Bore Outstation on Utopia. She participated in the Utopia A Picture Story a collection of 88 silk batiks (Holmes á Court Collection), which confirmed the artistic credibility of the Utopian artists. She has painted for Eastern Desert Art since 2010. The major subject of her work is Kame, the seed of the pencil yam, and Emu Tucker which belongs to her country, Alhalkere.
She is an artist of considerable talent and output and depicts her stories in subtle colours and delicate patterning.
