Timmy Payungka
was born in 1942 and lived until 2000, he was from the Papunya Tula school of painting. He was born west of Wilkinkarra. in the 1960's he and his family were taken to Papunya,
According to Daphne Williams of Papunya Tula, a trip west from Alice to Kintore with Timmy could take two or three times as long as a trip without him, so great as his enthusiasm for stopping along the way to tell his companions the stories of the land they passed through. He is also creddited as being one of the most exhibited aboriginal artists

was born one the 27th of june 1927 and died in 1998. He was a bark painter from Arnhem Land and one of the most well known figures in contemporary indigenous art. When one of his designs was used on the australian one dollar note in 1996 with out his knowledge it gave rise to issues of aboriginal copyright in australia, he was later compensated.

This weel a also attended the our metro mob exhibition it was very eye opening and different from the our metro mob exhibitona the festival centre. The Our metro mob exhibition took place at Tandanya in a small single room in the gallery. It included works but local adelaide artists only and showed a wide range of medium including sculpture, photography,painting, and even jewelery design. The most powerful part of the exhibition was seeig old techniques used in new and exciting ways a blending of the styles.
