Artwork Story
Linus Warlapinni worked with the Conservation Commission for many years in parks and wildlife. On his retirement from the Commission he became a plant operator with the Council building roads and airstrips on Melville Island. When he needed to spend more time caring for his family he decided to draw on his family ties and so began painting for Jilamara Arts and Craft Association in 2002. Linus is the son of the late leading Jilamara artist Freda Warlapinni (c 1928-2003).
Linus has become one of the Art Centre’s most consistent and exciting artists, attracting attention from collectors and galleries Nationally.
