Freddie Timms was born on Bedford Downs Station south west of Turkey Greek and spent his childhood at Bow River and Lissadell Stations where he worked as a stockman, handyman, and fencer. He met and worked with Rover Thomas on Bow River and Texas Downs and participated in the dancing and preparation of boards for the early song and dance performances of Rover's Krill Krill.

Freddie painted for Waringarri Arts from the late 1980s developing his own personal style working exclusively with earth pigment until the mid 1990s when he began experimenting with colour. His more vivid interpretations of his country were first exhibited with Frank Watters in Sydney, and later Rob Gould in Melbourne. His works are maps of his country imbued with its history and spiritual connections. They are typified by expanses of flat colour delineated by white dotting, according to topography and geology. Included are the black soil country, hills, creeks, watercourses and waterholes, roads, stockyards, homesteads and Dreaming places of his travels.

Please note that all First Nations Art is created from a so called ‘Birds Eye’ view. This means that the artworks can be hung either horizontally as well as vertically.
