Kumanjayi King

Kumanjayi King was born in Katherine (Northern Territory) in 1966.

From a young age, Kumanjayi King expressed an interest in art and his grandfather, a member of the Gurindji tribe was his teacher and mentor who told him stories about the desert.

This knowledge was invaluable as his grandfather had travelled many miles mustering across the country and had a kinship to the land he knew so well.

In 1993, Kumanjayi King was selected as an emerging artist to exhibit in the Gallery of Greater Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.

His paintings are showing in many private Galleries within Australia and overseas.

Kumanjayi King authenticates his paintings with a hand print and signature.
