Jimmy Pike

Walmajarri Aboriginal artist, Jimmy Pike (1940-2002) Jimmy was born east of Japingka, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Taking flora and fauna inspiration unique to his Australian desert life, Jimmy Pike utilised whatever medium he needed to express his stories in his art, and not necessarily traditional ones. Lino printing was a favourite medium and he had a passion for the vibrancy of felt tip pens.
