John 'Prince' Siddon is the son of Pompey Siddon, one of the founding painters at Mangkaja Arts in Fitzroy Crossing in 1991. A Walmajarri man, he was born on 15 November 1964 in Derby, and spent his early years working on cattle stations until injured in a horse riding accident. He now lives in Fitzroy Crossing with his wife and 16-year-old son, in Mindi Rardi Community. Prince draws inspiration from traditional Kimberley boab nut carving, injecting it with his own raw narrative style. He works in carving, painting (acrylic on canvas and wood), printmaking, and enamel on tin. His distinctive compositions and tricky line-work have garnered growing attention.
