Heath Minjin Wilson (b. 2001) is the son of renowned artist Helen McCarthy Tyalmuty and is considered one of the most important contemporary Indigenous Australian artists. He is a keen hunter and fisherman and spends as much time in Country as possible. This and being surrounded by great artists in his formative years is evident in the artworks he has created since starting to paint in 2020. Heath paints the stories associated with his father’s and grandmother’s country at Peppimenarti and Helen’s home country of Bulgul. His works are influenced by the seascape and the topography of his Country, as well as the Dreamings associated with it.
