As much a part of her Country as she is, Nyangulya Katie Nalgood shares a profound affinity with birds. Her days unfold alongside them — rising with their morning song, watching them soar across the sky and settle in the trees.

Her paintings capture the spirit and personality of each bird, often reflecting her own family, friends, and self, a testament to the deep connection she feels with their presence in her life.

Katie paints birds native to her Country in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, as well as those from further afield, her imagination flying with them across the land.
