Greeny Petyarre was born in 1940 at Boundary Bore. His language is Eastern Anmatyerre and his country is Alhalkere. He is the oldest nephew of the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye and a highly respected tribal elder. Greeny Petyarre paints with vivid resonant colours which express the love he has for the land. The lines depict the root system of the bush tucker plants and the dots are the wildflowers. In 1996 a major linear striped painting by Greeny Petyarre was purchased by The Art Gallery of South Australia.
