A Walmatjari speaker, the artist is one of the senior men of the Mulan community, who puts a lot of his wide personal experience of Men’s law into his paintings. The artist’s country is around Lake Gregory and his principal Dreaming is Water. He is a quiet reflective man whose poor eyesight prevents him from painting a great deal.
