Greg Kelly, Noongar artist, was born in 1940 at Narrogin in south Western Australia. Kelly was one of Henry and Bella Kelly 's four sons, the others being Goldie Kelly , Flemming Kelly and Simpson Kelly . Greg Kelly was taken away from his parents in 1946, and he and his brothers spent a number of their childhood years in the Carrolup Native Settlement in Katanning. He left Carrolup when he was thirteen years of age, and began work as a farmhand on properties in the region of Wandering and Narrogin. Between 1958-68 he played for Cuballing Football Club. Kelly began painting in the 1970s, working with watercolours, acrylics and oil paints. He did not exhibit his work, but sold paintings to family members and associates in the southwest, as well as international visitors to the region. Stylistically, his works bear the influence of the Carrolup style and of his mother, a highly acclaimed artist of the southwest who influenced many younger generation Noongar artists.
