Artist Profile
Born in Derby in 1968, Mark Nodea lives in Turkey Creek (Warmun) and is a respected figure in his community. A former Chairperson of Warmun Art Centre, Mark is a passionate ambassador for both his people and the traditional ochre art of the East Kimberley.
Mark is widely recognised as an exceptionally gifted artist, with a particular mastery of natural ochres — a medium deeply connected to his cultural heritage. While he is skilled across a range of forms, including striking charcoal sketches and figurative works in acrylic, it is through ochre that Mark’s work truly resonates. His use of this traditional medium reflects both deep cultural knowledge and an extraordinary artistic instinct, bringing a timeless quality and emotional depth to his paintings.
He learned the stories of his Country from his mother, the late Nancy Nodea, herself a respected senior artist and traditional owner. Mark paints her Country, Texas Downs, as well as his father’s Country around Cherabun Station. His father, Hanson Boxer, is a Walmajarri man, which allows Mark to incorporate both Gija and Walmajarri Country into his work including the Yakinarra area (an excision of Go Go Station near Fitzroy Crossing) and Cherabun Station.
Mark’s work ranges from bold, flamboyant compositions to more minimal and contemplative pieces, with his natural talent evident in every brushstroke. He is undoubtedly one of the most naturally talented Australian artists.
In 2002, Mark won the Royal Australian Mint’s International Award for his design of a pure silver collector coin — one of only ten such coins released since 1983. He has exhibited widely in group shows, and his first solo exhibition at the Alison Kelly Gallery in Melbourne in 2003 was a sell-out success. In 2013, he was awarded first prize in the $20,000 Mid West Art Award for Excellence, triumphing over a strong field of Western Australian artists. His 2020 solo exhibition at Short Street Gallery in Broome was also a sell-out, confirming his strong and growing reputation among collectors and galleries alike.

Artwork Description
Purnululu, widely known as the Bungle Bungles, is one of the most breathtaking and culturally rich landscapes in the East Kimberley. This World Heritage-listed area is famous for its unique beehive-shaped domes, formed over 350 million years ago and banded with striking layers of orange and black sandstone.
For the artists who paint this Country, Purnululu holds deep cultural and personal meaning. Their connection to this land stretches back through time beyond measure, and continues today through stories, song, and painting.
The artworks capture Purnululu in all its changing moods – from soft pinks at sunrise to the deep reds of the hot season, golden yellows and dusty browns in the dry, blackened rock during storm time, and lush greens after the first rains. The colours shift constantly with the weather, light, and season.
As the artists say, “it’s just like magic – you can paint the same place at a different time of the day or year, and it never looks the same.”
Each painting is not just a depiction of the landscape, but a reflection of the artists’ enduring relationship with this remarkable place.
