Paddy Carlton see the Artists prints
Paddy was born in country called Goordamankoo on Legune Station in the Northern Territory just over the Western Australia border. Paddy is a senior elder or law man in his community. He grew up in the 20’s and 30’s which was known as the wild times when white station hands and police were shooting Aboriginal people. Paddy worked on a number of stations as a stockman and takes his gadiya (European) surname from Carlton Hill Station. Paddy remembers participating in cave painting and being taught painting techniques by his elders in the country around Legune and Bullo River Stations. Paddy works hard to keep the culture of his father and grandfather alive through painting, carving and storytelling. Paddy remembers participating in cave painting as a young man and uses many of the same techniques in his work today. In describing his work he has said: ‘My father and the old people taught me how to paint when I was young. I painted on cave walls and did body painting for ceremonies and dancing ... I like to paint , it gives me a good feeling in my heart ... I do this so that my people can know the stories ... so that those stories won’t get lost’. His paintings reflect the richness of his culture and his love of his traditional country. Paddy is the key artist and mentor for Waringarri Arts. subjects and themes Saltwater water crocodile, eagle, king brown, lightning men, rock wallaby, bush turkey, turtle, road train. collections Artbank, Sydney.
