Banggala was a versatile artist, who as well as painting on bark and paper also created a number of lithographs and other prints. As printmaker Theo Tremblay said of England Banggala: “He has an innate graphic ability, a natural response and feeling for composition. A wholistic approach where the background – a song, air, earth has as much to do with the image as what flows in it.”
