Harold Munkara
Born: 1967
Skin: Warnarringa (Sun)
Dance: Kapala (Battleship)

Harold started carving in 1985 when he finished school, learning how to carve Tiwi style and paint from his uncles and grandparents. He learnt about collecting ochre from his country Jikilaruwu (Cape Forcroy), the primary ochre collecting site on Bathurst Island.
He enjoys carving as it keeps him connected to Tiwi culture and keeps the culture strong.
Harold has exhibited widely while working with the art centre Tiwi Design and his work is in many private collections.
At the start of 2025, Harold joined the Ngaruwanajirri carvers where he has had great success with his lovely alikampwarni (Pelican) and Jilarti (Jabiru) carvings.
