Muuki Taylor was born in 1945 at Wayinkurungu.
His family walked across the entire Great Sandy Desert, north to Joanna Springs and south to Parnngurr.
He walked around Jalyi, near Telfer, with his mother, father and his siblings (including fellow painters Nola and Wokka Taylor).
Muuki is a member of the Martu Council of Elders and worked on the successful Martu Native Title Claim and he now delivers Cultural Awareness training to organisations who work on Martu lands (especially mining companies). Muuki paints country from across the Great Sandy Desert and is often called upon as an authority on place names and the meaning of country by other artists.
Muuki paints Kulyakartu country and the country all around Wirnpa, a major ceremonial meeting place in the north.
Other works precisely define contemporary landscape features, ranging from mining roads to water-giving snakes..
