Date of birth : 1960 Language : Ganalbingu Clan : Gurrumba Gurrumba Social Affiliations : Yirritja moiety

The son of George Milpurrurru, George Pascoe was taught to paint by his father and has also been influenced by father’s sister, Dorothy Djukulul, and his father’s brothers, Charlie Djurritjini and Jimmy Djelminy.

George has been painting since 1998 and shows great promise as a Yolngu artist following in his father’s footsteps. He has refined his style over this time and added his own interpretations of the powerful Ganalbingu people’s creation stories.
