Clifford is son of George Tilmouth and Magdalene Marshall. His grandmother is Dorothy (sister of Wendy Kunoth). Clifford is married to Rosemary Bird Mpetyane (daughter of Paddy and Eileen Bird). He commenced painting for Mbantua Gallery in 2001 and paints very traditional men's stories belonging to his country. He loves to teach his stories through his paintings.
Clifford depicts a traditional hunting scene set in his country, Atoola (Bushy Park) . The artwork illustrates a group of hunters moving through the landscape in search of food and bush medicines. Clifford brings the bushland to life with depictions of trees, shrubs and, at times, waterholes. Native animals such as kangaroos and lizards are often depicted as they are 'good eating'.
This artwork is a tribute to the survival skills and traditions passed down through generations, and celebrates the enduring connection between Aboriginal people and their land.
