Wanita Lowe is a proud Dunghutti and Biripi woman who was raised in the Riverina area and is also accepted in the Wiradjuri community. She feels a deep connection to all three countries, Salt water, Fresh water.
Wanita is art of Boomalli Artists.
Her work spans traditional and contemporary practices from weaving with native grasses to ceramics, painting, printmaking and exploring with drawing mediums such as ink, pastel and charcoal.
All these practices incorporate inspiration from her cultural landscapes, stories and own life experiences to form a contemporary perspective that has altered and shaped the proud Aboriginal woman she is today.
Her artwork reflects a journey of resilience, heritage and a continued fight to preserve Indigenous cultural knowledge by learning and sharing a deep respect for her family, ancestors, and communities that have embraced me.
She also works for Eora Tafe NSW on Gadigal Country as a Cultural Arts teacher and Cultural educator, and facilitates weaving workshops for the Blak Markets and National Indigenous Art Fair in Sydney.
Highlights of her career include exhibitions at the Sydney Opera House, Powerhouse Museum Sydney, Parliament House Sydney and being a finalist of last year’s Fischer’s Ghost Art Award.
