Artwork: Josie’s mother, renowned artist Polly Ngale, sisters and aunties are all Utopia artist and the years spent watching them provide inspiration to her. Like most members of her community, Josie speaks little English but is very enthusiastic about painting and she sees it as a means of language and expression of her stories and culture.
Having lived in a number of communities within Utopia over the years, including Homestead, Boundary Bore and Apungalingum, Josie is no stranger to travel and has proudly travelled to Perth, Melbourne and Darwin for her artwork. Josie continues to live in Utopia with her husband, Dinny Kunoth Kemarre, their children and their extended family.
