Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri (deceased), was a Papunya Tula Anmatyer painter and one of the founding members of the Western desert Aboriginal art movement.
Hunter Dreaming is a profoundly important work in the City of Joondalup’s collection. Produced during a visit to Perth in 1978–79, when Tim Leura was a guest of Nyoongar elder Ken Colbung (deceased), the men, both strong culture warriors for their communities, developed a firm friendship. A decade after Tim Leura’s visit, Ken generously donated the painting to the City of Wanneroo in an act of reconciliation at the time of the Bicentenary in 1988.
