Walter Jangala Brown was born in 1977 in Yuendumu, an isolated Aboriginal community located 290 km northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.

In 2007, barely his initiation recognized by his community he began to paint. He painted his father's Ngapa Jukurrpa (Dream of water), the Warna Jukurrpa (Dream of a serpent) and the Yumari Jukurrpa (a set of rocks located west of Kintore in the Gibson Desert).
