Artist: Colin Liddy, “Moonggon”

Born 06/02/1970 on a cattle station behind Pine Creek, Northern Territory Australia.
He was taken from his parents and raised in foster care in the Darwin Arnhem Land region. He was taught to paint by his uncles in the traditional raark cross hatching of the Northern Arnhem land artists and developed his technique while living in Darwin He still lives in the Darwin region and paints sporadically two or three paintings per year. He shows great talent but seems to lack the desire to paint. Perhaps when he gets older he will show more interest.
