Biography
Born c.1960 in Alice Springs, Michael Tommy is the husband of artist Barbara Charles . Both are Amnatyerre speakers. Michael Tommy’s country is around Coniston, and he usually paints Snake Dreaming and another story of Hunting Emu from this area, though he also paints his father’s Lizard (Perentie) Dreaming located around Mt Allan. Michael began painting in 1982 at Napperby. His work is strong with interesting effects of perspective and considerable tension between the design elements of the painting and the background dotting. His work has been associated with both the Napperby painters, and Yuelamu Artists, the painting enterprise at Mt Allan, where he and his wife live.
