Wanita Lowe

Yawayi dungha newayi (hello my name is) Wanita.

I’m a proud Dunghutti and Biripi woman who was raised in the Riverina area, and I’m also accepted in the Wiradjuri community. I feel a deep connection to all three countries Salt water, Fresh water, coastal and rural landscapes.

I am an international exhibiting Artist, exhibiting at the IDAIA Paris 2024 and 2025

I work for Tafe NSW as a Cultural Arts teacher and Cultural educator in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven region (Dharawal/Yuin Country)

I also facilitate weaving and painting workshops for the Blak Markets, National Indigenous Art Fair, Maritime Museum and Corporate events.

My work spans traditional and contemporary practices from weaving with native grasses and fibre to creating in ceramics, painting, Eco dying, printmaking and exploring with drawing mediums such as ink, pastel and charcoal.

All these practices incorporate inspiration from my cultural landscapes, stories and my own life experiences to form a contemporary perspective, that has altered and shaped the proud Aboriginal woman I am today.

My artwork reflects a journey of resilience, heritage and a continued fight to preserve Indigenous cultural knowledge by learning and sharing a deep respect for my family, ancestors, and communities that have embraced me.
