Biography
Born 'in the bush’, probably around Lake Wills and Lake Hazlett c.1920, Mick Gill was one of several senior Tjakamarra men in the Balgo community who all came from the country surrounding Lappi Lappi or Hidden Basin (others include Alan Winderoo and Albert Nagomara ). The artist’s country was Liltjin, south-east of Balgo. These men and their wives were all Kukatja speakers who live and sometimes worked together. Mick Gill , who usually painted Water Dreaming stories for this site, started painting in 1985. His paintings were sold through Warlayirti Artists. His work was marked by the sense of controlled energy gained from his close, swirling lines. He talked of areas of country being the 'same’ as parts of the body and his work conveys something of this feel. He was married to Susie Bootja Bootja .
