Minnie Pwerle
Minnie Pwerle was born circa 1910 and died 18th March 2006. Minnie Pwerle’s emergence and dominance in the world of mainstream art has been compared to the legendary Emily Kame Kngwarreye, who like Minnie, began her painting career in her mid seventies. Minnie was the mother of Barbara Weir and the grandmother of Fred Torres, owner of DACOU.
