Biography
Wanita Lowe is an Australian Aboriginal artist born in 1975. She is a member of the Dunghutti and Biripi peoples, and is also accepted into the Wiradjuri community. She is a member of the Boomalli Historic Aboriginal Artists Cooperative in Sydney.
Her work encompasses traditional and contemporary Aboriginal practices, from weaving with native grasses to ceramics, painting, printmaking and the exploration of drawing in ink, pastel and charcoal.
All of these practices draw on her cultural landscapes, stories, and life experiences to form a contemporary perspective that has changed and shaped the proud Indigenous woman she is today.
Her works reflect a journey of resilience, heritage, and ongoing struggle to preserve Indigenous cultural knowledge by learning and sharing a deep respect for her family, ancestors, and the communities that cared for her.
She is also a cultural arts teacher and cultural educator at TAFE NSW, and runs weaving workshops for the Blak Markets and the National Indigenous Art Fair in Sydney.
Career highlights include exhibitions at the Sydney Opera House, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Parliament House in Sydney, the Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory in Darwin, and being a finalist in the Fischer's Ghost Art Award and the prestigious National Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) in Darwin.
