Chantelle Robertson Nangala

Chantelle Robertson is an Australian painter of Aboriginal origin, born in 1996 in the Yuendumu community. Having gone to school in Melbourne, she then completed her university career at Yuendumu High School in 2010. From a long line of artists, she has naturally been passionate about painting from a very young age. Since 2008, she has been part of the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation of Yuendumu Collective, whose goal is to promote Aboriginal culture across Australia.


Chantelle Robertson uses painting as a narrative. Via her paintbrushes, she illustrates the tales that her father and grandfather told her, passed down from generation to generation. The canvasses she produces therefore have her culture at their very essence. Her art is dependent on her land, as well as the animals and plants that reside there.
