I am a proud Indigenous man with ancestral connections to the Bibbulmun mob of the Noongar Nation in the southwest of Western Australia through my mother, and to the Malgana mob from the Yamatji region of Western Australia through my father.

I was born in Perth, Western Australia, and spent my early years growing up in Adelaide, where I lived until I was seventeen

In 2013, I travelled to Uluru (Yulara) to work as an Indigenous activities presenter at Ayers Rock Resort. During that time, I shared my culture with people from all over the world—running workshops in boomerang and spear throwing, guiding bush tucker tours, playing didgeridoo, and performing traditional dance. It was there that I formed strong connections with my colleagues, who I now call my brothers and recognise as my cultural teachers.

Over the past decade, I’ve deepened my cultural understanding from my teachers. In 2015, I spent time on Country in New South Wales, strengthening that connection and grounding my practice. My work is shaped by the knowledge passed down from my cultural grandfather and uncles. Through painting, I navigate the modern world while staying connected to traditional Ngurrumpaa (Dreaming) stories, applying their teachings in real time.

In 2016, I moved to Far North Queensland, spending time between Port Douglas and Cairns, where I shared my artworks with the wider community while sitting on Country, learning and connecting. In 2024, I moved to rural Victoria, where my practice continues to evolve within my studio space through storytelling and painting.

My work includes original artwork series and one-of-a-kind custom commissions. My practice has also extended into collaborative projects, including working with Tappeti Rugs and organisations such as Hearing Australia, where I co-created a children’s book focused on the importance of hearing health for Indigenous children. My work has been exhibited in well-established galleries across Australia, and in 2023, I was invited to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to attend the United Nations World Tourism Day gala, where I created a painting as part of the celebration.

At the centre of everything I do is family, culture, and responsibility. I’m committed to continuing my learning, sharing culture with the world, and passing that knowledge down to the next generation—including my own children—so that these stories, teachings, and connections to Country remain strong.

I pay my deepest respects to my uncle, Waylon Boney, and my grandfather, Paul Gordon. Their teachings continue to guide me.
