Peter was a distinguished Kunwinjku artist from Oenpelli in western Arnhem Land. He was born in 1930 and died in 2001. He painted using the traditional cross-hatching technique, or x-ray style, typical of the Gunbalanya artists of western Arnhem Land.His work often depicted the spirits that metamorphosed into rocks at important sites in the artist's homeland. He was recognized as a bark artist, and his work has also successfully transferred to the print medium without losing any of its traditional qualities.Since 1982, he has exhibited throughout Australia, including the 1994 exhibition "Power of the Land: Masterpieces of Aboriginal Art" at the National Gallery of Victoria; as well as several exhibitions in the United States.
