Iltja Ntjarra plates

These beautiful melamine plates feature artwork by Iltja Ntjarra artists, Gloria Pannka, Kathy Inkamala, Ivy Pareroultja and Clara Inkamala.

Iltja Ntjarra is a 100% Aboriginal owned and directed art centre supporting landscape painters in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). Iltja Ntjarra has a special focus on supporting the ‘Hermannsburg School’ style watercolour artists, who continue to paint in the tradition of their grandfather and relative, Albert Namatjira, arguably one of Australia’s most famous artists of the 20th century. Albert Namatjira taught his children to follow in his unique style, who have since passed this knowledge on to their children, which has resonated in a legacy of watercolour artists in the Central Desert region. By continuing his legacy, these artists sustain an important piece of living history.

The Australian-made plates feature reproductions of original artworks created by the Western Aranda artists.

Rising star, Kathy Inkamala says of her work:

I often paint from photographs I’ve taken when us artists go out bush. This mountain is called Rutjipma in Western Aranda, which means Sleeping Women.
