Waynes Story

With more than 35 years experience working in rural, remote and urbans area's, my wealth of knowledge and extensive network of contacts, ensures the photographs and stories captured are culturally sound and considered.

Featured Artist Vivid Festival

 

Renowned Aboriginal artist, and cultural storyteller Wayne Quilliam takes centre stage at Vivid Sydney, illuminating the city with a powerful visual narrative that celebrates Country, culture, and connection. For the first time ever, Quilliam's evocative work was projected onto the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, transforming it into a living canvas.

Merging traditional knowledge with contemporary art, Quilliam’s projection is a striking fusion of colour, texture, and ancestral symbolism. It weaves stories of the land and its people across the steel span of the bridge, inviting audiences to witness the deep spiritual connection.

This landmark collaboration marks a historic moment in Vivid’s history — placing First Nations perspectives at the heart of one of the world’s most celebrated light festivals. Wayne Quilliam’s projection on the Sydney Harbour Bridge is not just an artwork — it’s an experience, a statement, and a celebration of Australia’s oldest living culture on one of its most iconic stages.


Waterloo Train Station

 

When acclaimed Aboriginal artist Wayne Quilliam was commissioned to create a culturally significant artwork for a new public transport station, his vision was clear: to create a piece that welcomes everyone.

“I wanted people of all nationalities to feel a sense of belonging and pride in our culture,” Quilliam said. “I believe deeply my vision reflects this with a visually striking piece that speaks to connection, inclusivity, and shared identity". His artwork invites commuters and visitors alike to pause, reflect, and engage with the rich stories of Country and community.

More than just a visual feature, the piece serves as a cultural bridge—celebrating Aboriginal Culture while embracing the diversity of modern Australia. Quilliam’s commitment to fostering unity through art ensures this new station is more than a transit point — it’s a place of meaning and welcome.

Owner Mt Yengo Wines

Wayne is co-owner of Australia's first Aboriginal Wine Company

 Mt Yengo Wines.   

Mt Yengo is a story of culture, community, and giving and stands as a symbol of reconciliation and empowerment.

Wayne’s vision goes beyond winemaking. Every bottle supports programs that uplift Indigenous communities, from education initiatives to cultural preservation projects. Through partnerships and events, Mt Yengo Wines actively contributes to First Nations-led organisations, ensuring that profits create real, lasting impact.

Driven by his deep connection to Country and culture, Wayne blends business with purpose — using the success of Mt Yengo to give back to the very communities that inspired it. Mt Yengo Wines isn't just a winery — it’s a movement, with every glass poured helping to build a stronger, more inclusive Australia.

Creator of Gumbuya Dreaming

Bringing to life 'Creator Stories' for the world to share, Wayne along with his team created a mesmerising digital light experience at Gumbuya World.  Captivating light installations and entrancing soundscapes, sharing the stories of fire & water, and the majesty of land & animals. 

Curator of Connection

 

A.Professor Wayne Quilliam, a renowned Indigenous artist and cultural ambassador, is the visionary behind Connection — Australia’s first large-scale immersive exhibition dedicated to First Nations art and culture.

As creator and co-curator, Wayne has brought together over 100 Indigenous artists to craft a powerful journey through stories, songlines, and spirit. Through breathtaking visuals, soundscapes, and immersive environments, Connection invites visitors to step inside the world’s oldest living culture in a way that’s never been experienced before.

Wayne’s mission is simple yet profound: to create meaningful, respectful spaces where people can truly connect with Country, community, and culture. Every element of Connection reflects his commitment to the celebration of Indigenous identity.

By blending traditional knowledge with cutting-edge technology, Wayne is not only preserving culture — he’s creating new ways for Humanity to experience its beauty and depth. 

This is culture is felt. And it’s Wayne’s gift to the world.

Creative Director of Badu Gili

Commissioned by Fondation Cartier, Wayne collaborated with Gail Mabo and Nikau Hindin to bring to life their creations on the sails of the Sydney Opera House for the Biennale of Sydney.
