Abraham was born in Alice Springs and grew up in Kintore Community in the Walungurru region of Northern Territory. He went to high school in in Alice Springs, and as a young boy he played football in his local community. Abraham has family in Irrunytju Community where he joined Minyma Kutjara Arts Project in 2021 and enjoys using recycled materials to build sculpture. He is a big football fan, North Melbourne is his favourite AFL team.

'Tin Art', using discarded tin and metal objects as a canvas was initiated in 2017 before Minyma Kutjara artists had access to a functioning studio and materials. Tin Art has continued to flourish with new and exciting works being produced including Mutaka (motorcars) using pram wheels and tent poles for axels.
