Sheila Humphries' paintings reflect reconciliation, faith and healing. Sheila experiences immense healing from her artwork and she believes that art, just like her faith in religion, is about understanding the past to find a way forward. Guests on Urban tours are invited to spend a morning with Sheila Humphries where she reveals how the love and support of her husband Bill and her 8 children set her on a path of healing and recovery as she re-educated herself and discovered a natural artistic gift through her aboriginal artworks. Through her involvement with Urban Indigenous Tours, run by Spirit of Australia award recipient Rebecca Casey, Sheila has been able to showcase her artwork and share her personal journey as a woman who has dealt with separation, grief and displacement as part of the Stolen Generation.
