Artist Bio

My name is Ngalnya, a proud Yorta Yorta artist originally from Shepparton, but now calling Naarm home since 2021. My journey as an artist has been deeply intertwined with my cultural heritage, a legacy passed down by elders throughout generations. This connection to my artwork isn't just a creative pursuit; it's a vital link to my community and a cherished avenue for bonding with my family.  My artwork provides a platform for me to express my thoughts, share the stories of my people, and celebrate my connection to mob. My art serves as more than just visual expression—it's a bridge between generations, a testament to my personal journey, a vibrant reflection of Yorta Yorta culture and a way to connect with the world around me.
