Angela Watson was born in 1966 in Western Australia in a place called Warburton. She later and still young moved to Pipalyatjara and commenced painting around 2005.
She paints Minyma Kutjara (Two Women Dreaming) which is an important dreaming from her father’s country, just west of Ninuku Arts. Her works tell the story of two women travelling by themselves looking for fresh water. These paintings correlate the path and camps of their journey across the lands to nighttime constellations of the Milky Way. Angela is known for her contemporary techniques and composition to tell traditional stories.
