Born in Derby in 1980, Lloyd Kwilla is the son of the late Billy Thomas (Karntakarnta), painter, medicine man and senior Lawman from the Great Sandy Desert. Kwilla spent most of his childhood at Wangkatjungka community on Christmas Creek Station where he acquired a love of the landscape that surrounded him, and an intimate knowledge of its secrets. His father Billy Thomas (Karntakarnta) taught him a great deal about land and its features.
