Peter Corbett is a Alyawarr man who was born in 1958 at Elkedra Station. He moved to Ali Curung, then Warrabri, in the late 1960s, during "welfare days". Today he is an important elder and custodian in Ali Curung.
In adulthood, Peter worked on stations before taking up work at Arlpwe Art and Culture Centre not long after its inception. In 2024, after the best part of two decades as an arts worker, Peter tried his hand at art-making in ceramics workshops. This led Peter to take up painting for the first time, which he has since come to enjoy.
