Angelina Ngale

Angelina Ngale, together with her sisters Kathleen and Poly, began producing the now famous batiks at Utopia in 1986, and adapted this style to painting on canvas. It is largely through painting that Angelina has gained international recognition, although she has also produced carved wooden sculptures. Angelina’s work represents a contemporary dialogue or translation of the cultural, geographic, social and religious components of community life. In her work she depicts her grandfather’s country, Arlparra.
