- Artwork story
- Paddy’s unique depiction of the Mimi Spirit was the centre piece for many of his paintings. The dancing Mimi looks over the land as a protector and is not visible during the day, only at night. Paddy was the unofficial ambassador of Aboriginal culture in the Central Arnhem Land region. A great story teller and ceremonial leader his works are included in most state and national art collections.
