Kathy Inkamala

Kathy is a Western Arrarnta woman, born at the Hermannsburg mission, and now living in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).�Kathy�s grandmother is Albert Namatjira�s sister, and Dellina Inkamala, who also paints at Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre is Kathy�s niece. When Kathy was a child, growing up, she used to look at her father Cliford Inkamala, a successful watercolour artist, paint landscape watercolours. Kathy�s mother was a crafty woman, she sawed, used croshades, and produced placemats from native bean seeds for decoration. Kathy decided when she was younger that she would like to continue this artistic tradition. Today, she is inspired by native bush flowers and bush tucker in the Northern Territory area. In 2017 Kathy obtained a certificate 4 in visual art from the Batchelor institute.

Kathy says about herself:� I am very keen to improve my skills as a watercolourists. When I finish to paint a watercolour painting I feel very proud about my work. The country I paint is important to me because it�s my father�s country.
