Dakota Dixon-Campbell

Dakota Dixon is a proud Dharawal, Dunghutti, and Yuin woman, and a Traditional Owner of coastal Sydney. She is the granddaughter of Rene Campbell and Roy Page, both respected Elders of La Perouse, and a descendant of Sir Thomas Foster. Raised on Bundjalung Country and now living on Gadigal land in Sydney, Dixon’s multidisciplinary practice is a powerful reflection of her cultural heritage and contemporary experience. Since completing a Diploma of Design at TAFE NSW in 2017, Dixon has developed a distinctive practice spanning mixed media, digital design, visual art, and curatorship. Her work explores the intersection of cultural storytelling and modern expression—reinterpreting Aboriginal motifs through new mediums to speak to identity, community, and Country. Dakota is committed to amplifying First Nations voices and creating platforms that share Aboriginal stories with integrity and strength. Her work helps empower her community by fostering opportunities for collaboration, representation, and cultural continuity. She has contributed to major public art and design projects alongside leading First Nations artists and designers including Alison Page, Dennis Golding, Euphemia Bostock, and Brenda L. Croft. A proud member of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative, her work has been exhibited in galleries across Sydney since 2023. Her creative collaborations extend to respected institutions and companies such as the Sydney Opera House, NRMA, Lendlease, Sydney Metro Transport, FDC, and the Australian Design Centre. In addition to her artistic practice, she works as the First Nations Programs Officer at the Australian National Maritime Museum, where she continues to share culture through storytelling, art, and design—ensuring that Aboriginal perspectives are seen, heard, and valued.
