Malcolm Maloney Jagamarra was born in 1955
at Aningie Station in Central Australia, the son
of Minnie Napanangka a traditional Warlpiri woman and Gerry Maloney, an Irish stockman. As a young child Jagmarra traveled on walkabouts, living a traditional life.
At age six he was abducted from his family
as part of the “Aboriginal Assimilation Program” where “the Lost Generation” of children were forcibly removed from their families and placed into “white” environments to be assimilated.
He was taken to Adelaide where he spent the
next eighteen years of his life.
In 1978 he returned to Alice Springs in Central Australia and was reunited with his family
for the first time since 1960, and in 1983
underwent the traditional Warlpiri manhood initiation and ceremonies or the right of passage that he missed as a boy, In 2009 after numerous exhibitions, Malcolm suffered a stroke.
Overcoming this, he started painting again
in 2015.
His works are held in numerous museum and private collections. His work was the subject
of an extensive retrospective at the Murray Art Museum Albury, NSW in 2025.
