I was born at Bathurst Island in 1958 and I went to school at Garden Point Primary School on Melville Island. Then as I grew up my mum sent me away to High School in Darwin at Kormilda College. After school I went back home to my family and started looking for a job. I got one as the Janitor at the primary school in 1978. In 1990 I retired and then I decided to get another job so i went to the Munupi Art Centre because I used to watch my father paint and carve the ceremonial poles. He taught me how do culture and that's how I got my skills as an artist and ceremonial leader.
One of Osmond's Tutunis (Ceremonial Poles) is in the South Australian Art Gallery Collection and one is in a private collection in Belgium.
Osmond creates intricate paintings depicting ceremonial designs. He is a Senior Ceremonial Singer and Dancer.
