Kathleen Ngal”’KATHLEEN NGAL c.1934 – ”’
Region: North Eastern Central Australia
Residence: Camel Camp, Utopia
Country: Aharlper
Language: Anmatyarr
Grandfather’s Langauge: Anmatyarr
Grandfather’s Country: Aharlper
Grandmother’s Language: Alyawarr
Grandmother’s Country: Ngkwelay (Kirrajong Bore)
Kathleen Ngal is a senior custodian for her Country and shares great responsibility as keepers of cultural knowledge for Aharlper, located in the heart of Utopia, 250 kms North East of Alice Springs.
Kathleen and her sisters are among the most accomplished painters who have worked at Utopia during the past 20 years. Kathleen Ngal began her career in late 1979, with the production of Batiks, made by artists in Utopia prior to the introduction of painting on canvas in the mid to late 1980s.
Kathleen Ngal’s work is a sophisticated play between the cultural knowledge of her country and the contemporary expression formed through the medium of synthetic paint. Thousands of dots of colour are rained across her canvas denoting flora and the geographical and sacred sites of the Bush Plum. In 2000 Kathleen Ngal was exhibited as a finalist in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award and has been exhibiting nationally and internationally since 1999.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
Always be the first to know about exhibitions, events and new art releases.
