This extremely remote community off the Tanami Trail and near the Great Sandy Desert is the home of numerous world-famous artists whose distincitve styles are easily discernible by their vivid color palettes and themes. Hansen is the son of Frank Clancy and grandson of the Boxer Milner, one of the grand elders of Walayirti painting. Hanson's unique style is all his own. He paints country around Balgo and his paintings show extraordinary promise.
