Details of Ned Grant
About
Ned Grant is a senier traditional owner of a large area of SPinifex Country in the Great Victoria Desert, WA. Ned was born at Mulpula about 1941 and grew up around this area with his immediate family until his family left the Spinifex area after the Maralinga nuclear testing. Coming into Cundeelee Mission around the 1960's with his family Ned maintained a semi nomadic life between the mission and the bush.
In the early eighties a core group of elders moved back into country further into their homelands eventually establishing the settlement of Tjuntjuntjara, 800kms NE of Kalgoorlie.
Ned has been painting with the Spinifex Artists since its beginning in 1997 and has been included in major exhibitions around Australia and overseas in London and the Netherlands.
