Angelina Pwerle Ngala

Angeline Pwerle Ngala has come into international prominence with her interpretation of her Dreaming, the Bush Plum (Arnwekety) and her figurative paintings of women's ceremonies.

Angeline Pwerle Ngala's career began in 1988 when she became part of the Utopian batik project and her work from this project is featured in the Robert Holmes á Court Collection. She began experimenting with acrylic paint on canvas in 1988-9 as part of the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association's project - The First works on Canvas, A Summer Project with the Utopia Aborignal women from Utopia. From this moment her output flourished.

Her paintings of her country and the bush plum can be viewed as landscapes. The changes in the depth and intensity of her dot-work produce a multi-dimensional textured surface.
