TEACHING & RECONCILIATION | TOURS, SCHOOLS, CORPORATE
Sheila Humphries is involved in teaching indigenous art & aboriginal culture to international tourists, school groups, and corporate bodies.

Through her involvement with Urban Indigeneous Tours, run by Spirit of Australia award recipient Rebecca Casey, Sheila has been able to showcase her artwork & share her personal journey as a woman who has dealt with separation, grief & displacement as part of the Stolen Generation. Sheila explains how this journey is reflected in her artwork, and she teaches guests the meaning of the symbols in indigenous paintings and then invites them to share their own journey on paper.

Sheila presently has a gallery of works for sale, & welcomes commissions. ...read more
