Greeny, apart from being a very high ranking tribal elder in Utopia, is also the nephew of the late Emily Kngwarreye. His father, Alhalkere Jack, Lindsay Bird’s mother and Emily are all blood brothers and sisters. His paintings, usually Yam Seed Dreamings, are highly sought after by collectors and galleries throughout the world. Very rarely does he digress from the basic colours, and he paints with the use of line, medium size dots and very small dots. On occasion he has been known to use very large splash type dot work during a period of collaborations with Emily Kame Kngwarreye (Greeny being the eldest nephew).

Greeny’s work has featured in numerous Exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His work is also represented in Collections throughout Australia.
