About Paddy Bedford Nyunkuny

  • Biography

    Paddy Bedford Nyunkuny (c.1922 - 2007)
    Paddy Bedford is one of Australia's most esteemed artists. Born at Bedford Downs in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, he began painting in 1998 while in his mid-seventies. Since he first picked up a paintbrush, he has become an artistic innovator, leader, and legend. Bedford was heavily influenced by his contemporaries - including Rover Thomas, Paddy Jaminji and Freddie Timms - but it was only after the deaths of these artistic pioneers that Bedford first began to paint, as if picking up where they had left off, carrying his history and his traditions forward into a new era.
