Aboriginal Artist NSW – About Grace Stewart

My name is Grace Stewart and I am a proud Wiradjuri woman from New South Wales, raised in the small outback town of Broken Hill.

One of my totems is the catfish, known as Dhandhaang in Wiradjuri language. This totem has been passed down through my family from my great-great-grandmother, carrying deep cultural meaning and a strong connection to who I am and where I come from. Because of this, I have chosen to include the catfish in my name and logo as a reflection of my identity and family history.

I have always been a creative and artistic person, with a deep passion for art and painting from a young age. Creating has always been a natural part of who I am and continues to shape the way I express myself today.

My art reflects culture, memory and storytelling, while also allowing space for creativity, colour and personal expression. Through contemporary Aboriginal artworks, I share my connection to Country and community, creating pieces that carry meaning, strength and individuality.

My artworks are created through a mix of acrylic paintings and digital illustration, allowing me to explore both traditional and modern creative processes. Working across different mediums gives me the freedom to bring my ideas to life in ways that feel authentic and evolving.
