Bob Wanur Namundja b. 1933

  • Artist (Painter)

Bob grew up in the bush around the Mankorlod region of western Arnhem Land. He spent much of his life traveling, participating in ceremonies and maintaining his extended kin network. In addition to this, he worked for three decades as a stockman (‘seemed more like one hundred years’). He and his wife Dianne settled with their four children in Gunbalanya (Oenpelli) over two decades ago and he took up painting as a career. Notes courtesy Injalak Arts, Gunbalanya.
