Lloyd was born in 1980 in the township of Derby in North Western Australia. He grew up and schooled in Wangkajunga Community, Christmas Creek Station on the northern edge of the Great Sandy Desert. He has held many important positions in the community including Community Supervisor and Chairperson of the Wangkajunga council. He has worked at the school at Wangkajunga, as an advisor and mentor to pupils. Lloyds father Billy Thomas (Karnta Karnta ) has taught Lloyd to paint over the last ten years. Lloyd has developed a distinct style of his own and is committed to becoming established as a painter. Having spent almost all of his life living on country, Lloyd knows it well and his work refers directly to the waterholes ( Jumu) and Sandhills (Tali) of the Great Sandy Desert. Lloyd currently lives in Fitzroy Crossing with his wife Michelle and three children and works with the local shire.
