• Notes:
  Djawida was born in the bush on his father’s country at Djalbangurr in Western Arnhem Land. His work is sought after because of its traditional aspect and dramatic quality. His family eventually moved into Oenpelli where his mother and father worked as buffalo skinners and salters. Djawida went to school in Oenpelli and grew up in the area. Sometimes the family visited their traditional country and it was on those trips that he became interested in painting. He first started to paint on rock, copying existing rock paintings, especially animals and Mimi spirits. His work is now held in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia.
