DOB: c1934-2021 - Utopia, Northern Territory
Also known as: Kathleen Ngala

Kathleen began her creative pursuit in the late 70s with batik in the Utopia Region along with other women. Her works can be found in Utopia: A Picture Story.
 
In the 1980s she changed her medium to acrylic on canvas, like many of the other artists. Her beautiful, vibrant, simplistic paintings of the Bush Plum became highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
 
Her sisters Polly Ngale and Angelina Ngale Pwerle are also established artists.
 
Kathleen’s referred to the Anwekety as Bush Plum which produce a fragrant flower after rain. The fruit matures into a small sweet black Conkerberry or Conkleberry.
 
Traditionally the women collected the fruit and soaked them in water before they are eaten or dried and stored.
 
The plant also has medicinal qualities whereby the bark and roots are prepared and used for various ailments.

This stunning painting was created in 2007.

Sadly, Kathleen passed away in 2021 and her sister Polly in 2022.
 
This painting was purchased directly from Kathleen and a gallery certificate of authenticity will be provided with the sale.
