Lizzy Stageman

I am a proud descendant of the Wiradjuri Ngiyampaa and Barkindji nations of Australia and an English Naval seaman. Although my art is a harmonious blend of both cultures, it is primarily rooted in my Aboriginal identity. As a contemporary Indigenous artist, I infuse modernity into my creations, adorning each piece with meticulous detail and precise techniques. Using acrylic and various media on canvas or linen, I ensure my work finds a home in any setting. Through ancient Aboriginal symbols, I craft my own artistic lens, painting my life on canvas and unveiling stories close to my heart. Color ignites emotions and invites exploration, while monochrome pays homage to my roots. Drawing inspiration from family, culture, fashion, and the environment, my art reflects the vibrant colors and hidden shapes in nature, evoking emotions that often go unnoticed by others. For me art is a vessel to carry knowledge and tell my story while celebrating my unique cultural heritage.
