Welcome To Kunwinjku Fine Art
Kunwinjku Fine Art had small beginnings in 2005 when Leslie Nawirridj sold his first paintings independently through a market stall at Mindil Beach Sunset Markets.
Kunwinjku Fine Art moved on to Parap Markets where the business flourished from 2006 to 2020. After 12 months away from the markets due to Covid-19, we re-established our stall at Parap Markets in the dry season of 2021. We have an impressive display of original paintings, prints and fibre art for you to view and purchase. Kunwinjku Fine Art exhibited and sold Western Arnhem Land artworks to cruise ship passengers at the Fort Hill Wharf cruise ship terminal from 2008 to 2020.
