Adrian was born in Papunya in 1962 and went to school there, where he remembers Geoff Bardon as a teacher and working alongside early Western Desert painters. His father, Jampitjinpa, was from country stretching from west of Walungurru through Karku at Nyirrpi to Warlukurlangu at Yuendumu, and worked in Papunya as a gardener and builder. He was the brother of the late Darby Ross Jampitjinpa. Adrian’s mother, the late Eunice Napangardi, was also a respected painter, and it is her country—Yalpirakinu—that Adrian now paints. Adrian joined Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists in 2002. A landscape painter, he works with a restricted palette and paints the desert mountains, ridges, and trees of Yalpirakinu. His brushwork carries energy, drama, and memory, and his practice is both deliberate and intuitive—reworking, pushing, and pulling the image toward completion. Adrian’s paintings speak to a deep sense of place, shaped by family, history, and country.

2. All artworks shipped from Laundry Gallery are insured and require a signature on delivery. A tracking number is be provided as part of our shipping process to the contact details you provide.

3. Whilst we use Australia Post services where possible, for large, heavy or high value artworks we use a third party courier service. We will advise you of this at the time of purchase, or get in touch as soon as possible if on reflection using a courier seems more appropriate for your artwork. Once we have organised a quote it will be the courier who gets in touch to organise delivery times closer to the date, but we are always here to support you throughout the process! 

4. If the artwork you have purchased is part of a current or future Laundry Gallery exhibition, we will need to wait until after the exhibition period has ended before we can send the artwork to you.
