Angela Watson

Angela Watson was born in 1966 in the remote WA community of Warburton. Angela and her family later relocated to Pipalyatjara where she continues to live today. In the early 2000s, the first Aboriginal art studios were set up in the western region of the APY Lands. It was during this time that Angela started her art practice. Her artworks draw influence from the tjukurpa (traditional stories), particularly the Minyma Kutjara (Two Women) story. This is an important story from her father’s country, Irrunytju (also known as Wingellina) which lies just over the border from Pipalyatjara in Western Australia.
