June Bird is a Utopian artist whose style strongly reflect that of her talented and famous mother, Ada Bird Petyarre. Like Gloria Petyarre, and the famed Emily Kame Kngwarreye, June Bird began her career in 1978 in batik print-making and moved to canvas and acrylic paints in the late 1980‘s.
She uses colour brilliantly to create contrast and movement to captivate the viewer. She features in the prestigious Robert Holmes a Court Collection in Perth, and continues to feature in many important art exhibitions throughout Australia.
Born at Waite River, Northern Territory, she moved with her family to the outstation at Mulga Bore, Utopia.
From her mother, Ada Bird (dec), she paints women’s ceremonial body designs and Mountain Devil Lizard which she shares these dreamtime stories with her sisters; Kathleen Petyarre, Gloria Petyarre, Myrtle Petyarre, Violet Petyarre, Nancy Petyarre and Jean Petyarre.
