Dr. Bronwyn Bancroft is a proud Bundjalung Woman and Artist. Bronwyn’s professional career as an artist began following her graduation from the Canberra School of Arts in 1980. Bronwyn’s career has included both national and international exhibitions, and her work has been acquired by all major Australian galleries, state libraries and private collections. Bronwyn’s contribution to Aboriginal children’s literature has been immense and has included the publication of 48 books. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Aboriginal oral histories and stories were compiled almost exclusively by European anthropologists and writers. There were very few Aboriginal contemporary writers and illustrators at the time of Bronwyn’s first publication in 1992, with the exception of Oodgeroo Noonuccal and Sally Morgan. Along with these two incredible women, Bronwyn has been a trailblazer in the field of Australian literature and has contributed significantly to representation for Aboriginal storytellers. Bronwyn received the Dromkeen Medal for her contribution to Australian literature and has been nominated for prestigious international children’s literature.
