Clarrie was born in Derby, Western Australia, and moved to Kalumburu during missionary times where he grew up and went to school. He was trained as a builder in his community and has worked in the community store. In 1999 he was elected President of Kalumburu Aboriginal Community Council. Clarrie has only recently turned his hand to painting in order to record his culture for the younger generation. His work is exhibited in the Revealed 2021 exhibition.
Fremantle Arts Centre is situated at Walyalup on Whadjuk Nyoongar Boodjar. We acknowledge the Whadjuk people as the traditional owners and custodians of these lands and waterways and extend our respect to their Elders, past and present.
We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the Whadjuk community and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to care for Country and share their knowledge – this generosity and wisdom helps us to understand and navigate Country safely and respectfully.
Revealed is an initiative of the WA State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; and the Australian Government through the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program.
