Angkaliya Curtis
Pitjantjatjara painter from Miti in South Australia who now resides between Nyapari Community and Cave Hill . Raised in a traditional nomadic lifestyle, she learned ancestral knowledge—Dreaming stories, bush food, healing practices, weaving—from her mother and grandmother .
From around 2007, Angkaliya began painting professionally, becoming known for delicate line‑work and muted colour palettes depicting desert life—animals, rockholes, creeks, and people in everyday ceremonial contexts . Her work has been widely exhibited across Australia and is held in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and QAGOMA. She also received multiple finalist nods in the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2010 and 2011
