Jimmy Robertson Jampijinpa was one of the best known painters in Lajamanu. He has taken dances, songs and paintings to Sydney, Perth and Adelaide, the USA and Paris.  He is remembered by some in Paris for taking a trunk full of boomerangs and setting up a roadside stall on one of the main boulevards - an amazing and colourful individual, who attended the very first exhibition of the Lajamanu artists at the Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in Melbourne in 1987.  Jimmy lived in Lajamanu with two wives and nine children, he was full time painting as well as teaching dancing at Lajamanu Boys School.
