Artist Profile
C. 1931 – 2011
Beerbee Mungnari was born on Waterloo Station, Northern Territory in c. 1931. Like so many of the Kimberley painters of his generation, he was a stockman and drover, working on many stations including Argyle, Hahn Springs, Lissadell, Texas and Rosewood.
Beerbee (pronounced Birribee) grew up on Rosewood, but recalls the family’s trips to Waterloo Station for holidays at Christmas. After retiring from stock work, he lived for a time at Wyndham, then located to Turkey Creek, where he and his late wife worked in the school and taught the kids – “it was just a bow shed then, that school”. He has six children – Denise Mung is an Emerging Artist and often paints in her father’s strong style, whilst his youngest daughter Marika is producing precise and delicately executed works still accompanied by the Dreaming Stories of the country that Beerbee has passed on to his family.
Beerbee lived for many years at Frog Hollow Community with his friends, senior artists Jack Britten and Henry Wambini but moved to Turkey Creek after they passed away. Beerbee painted his country where he was born and worked in a distinctive style. Until his death in December 2011, Beerbee was the Senior male ochre artist in the Kimberley Region and the last of the first generation male ochre artists.
He is represented in Corporate and Private Collections worldwide including the National Gallery and his works are much sort after by collectors. A true gentleman, his passing leaves an indelible hole in the ochre art movement.

Artist's Description
This is Kilfoyle, Texas Country. Worked here with Yoonany (Churchill Cann) and Patrick (Mung Mung). This part is to the south west – south of the new homestead. Texas people were good stockmen. I liked working with this mob. This part we used for stock camp and then waited for all the boys to get there – then we’d drove the mob right up to Wyndham to the meatworks. Long way to go. We got eight pounds in old money.
