Biography[ edit]
Guymala was born in 1969 at Manmoyi Outstation about 100 miles east of Gunbalanya, Northern Territory. Guymala is a skilled musician and toured across Australia with both the Mimih and Nabarlek bands before turning to painting. Guymala wrote many songs about traditional stories and country in his time as a musician. Guymala also worked as a member of the Warddeken Rangers where he controlled feral animals, protected rock art sites, and managed controlled burns of country.

Career[ edit]
Guymala began painting in 2010, under heavy influence from his grandfather Namerredje Guymala who painted on barks and rock shelters. Guymala's early works are characteristic of traditional Kunwinjku style and feature a mixture of Rarrk (cross-hatching) and rock-art style to portray kangaroos, fish, crows, and mimihs.
