Angelina grew up near the Roper River Mission, the youngest of five daughters. She attended the mssion school and worked in the gardens although by her own admission she avoided it as much as possible, running down to the river to fish with the old people.
She began painting as a child, quickly developing her own style, exploring the landscapes of her country. She exhibited extensievly and was selected for numerous art awards. Her works are held in numerous collections.
