Here is her story:
Hello my name is Ange and I am a proud Quandamooka woman from Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) in Queensland.
I grew up living off the land fishing and hunting. We mostly lived on seafood.
I grew up being taught that our art is away to teach lessons and the old ways of our people. My aunty Kath Walker (Oodgeroo Noonuccal) was a famous poet and political activist for our people. And that’s where my paintings started when I was just little girl painting on paperbark off the trees from our island home. My paintings are what I feel at the time they all come from inside. I make my paintings affordable so everyone can enjoy them.
