Alan Joshua Jnr lives with his wife and two children at Ngukurr.  He was born in 1965.  He likes to experiment with his art, always trying to find or do something different and his style represents a contemporary area of aboriginal art one which he blends with his aboriginal way of thinking as his paintings often reflect or depict, the country of his mother and grandmother.

As a young man Alan started out as a carver and then started painting onto the carvings that he made in the late 1980’s;

He didn’t start to paint onto canvas until the late 1990’s when he was older.
