About Mawukura (Mulgra) Jimmy Nerrimah

He has been making artefacts since he was a child but only started painting in the early 1990s. His paintings are maps based on the deep knowledge of his county and the location of waterholes. He exhibited in Melbourne in 2009. He is also known as: Mawukura, Jimmy Nerrimah; Mulgra, Jimmy Nerrimah; Nerrimah, Mulgara (Maw Kura) Jimmy.
