Phyllis Stewart |
My name is Phyllis Stewart, I was born at Berry on the south east coast of New South Wales, Australia. I am the second eldest of seven children. I’ve lived in and around the Shoalhaven district and it’s Aboriginal communities all my life.
I’ve always been interested in arts & craft and our Aboriginal culture & history.
I decided to join a TAFE course back in 2000. I’ve since studied & completed the following courses:
• Certificate I, II, III, IV Aboriginal Art & Cultural Practices TAFE, West Wollongong.
• Diploma of Visual Arts TAFE, West Wollongong.
• Advan
I majored in the discipline of weaving, both traditional & contemporary and now teach and share knowledge of my culture. I also work in the mediums of shellwork, drawing and painting.
In 2004, 2005 I won the TAFE NSW prize for academic excellence award and the NSW Illawarra Institute Aboriginal student of the year award.
I’ve exhibited at Wollongong City Gallery, Parliament House in Sydney, Paris France, and in the local and regional districts.
I have work in two public collections - The Wollongong City Gallery Collection and The Maritime Museum Collection.
