Keith Wikmunea

Keith Wikmunea was born in 1967 in Aurukun and raised there by his parents.  Keith is from Wik-Alken (mother’s side) and Wik-Mungkan (father’s side).

His totems are the White Cockatoo, Goanna from his father’s side, and the Galah and Frilled-neck lizard from his mother’s side.  

Keith’s country is Kencherang (father’s side) which is north of Aurukun. There’s a large freshwater lagoon there. During the wet season, saltwater comes up the creek during the high tides. There is one large creek that comes into the country which splits out into his mother’s country called Ti-tree.

When the freshwater breaks out in the wet season it joins with the creek at Kencherang and connects to the saltwater.  Keith belongs to the Apalech clan from his father’s side. His mother’s side is the Winchanum clan.

As an artist, Keith is passionate about passing on his creative and cultural knowledge to future generations. His vision is for Wik and Kugu Art Centre to support artists keeping culture strong and alive.

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
