Jeremiah learnt to paint sitting beside his maternal Grandfather, Bob Bumarda and his contemporaries. Jeremiah says he was about ten when he started sitting with his grandfather and listening to his stories as he painted. Bob Bumarda also taught Jeremiah how to collect lorrkon and dollobo and prepare them the right way.
Jeremiah’s work is characterised by incredibly fine and precise rarrk. He paints stories from his country, Mankungdjang, his mothers county at Kudjekbinj and also stories passed to him by his grandfather. Jeremiah has been painting at Injalak since the art centre opened in 1989 and has been involved in many group exhibitions.
