An island based maker creating gradually, slowly, gently and gingerly- aka ‘sensim’.

I have been a maker for as long as I can remember and painting is my passion. Nature and colour provide the greatest amount of inspiration and I hope that my artwork uplifts viewers and provides collectors with a lifetime of joy.

I call myself a creator, I am currently a sculptural potter and hand built artist of functional ware. I am visually inspired by nature and, in particular, where I live at amity (Pulan Pulan).

I work fulltime as a feltmaker and textile artist. Minjerribah is a place of infinite inspiration for me. It is where I come to recharge, get some soul food, commune deeply, and create.

I am a watercolour artist, painting original seascapes inspired by this beautiful island, which I turn into unique greeting cards.

Artist and state of affairs commentator:

“The more interesting the work the more disreputable it is.

Defaming reality is the best way of achieving grandeur of delusion.”

‘Gindi’ in my Jandi language means something good. I put a lot of love, time and effort into the making process to create a small handmade treasure for you, a memento of my beautiful island home.

I love to print on fabric - tea towels, tote bags, cushion covers, t-shirts...everything! I also enjoy running workshops with small groups and schools. I descend from the Nunukul, Ngugi & Goenpul people of Quandamooka.

Craig is a chainsaw carver, woodworker and jeweller. He works from his home in Amity, beginning his artistic journey in 2022.

From early childhood creating art has had a place on the map of my journey in life. Spending time in nature brings a sense of wellbeing to me which is amplified as I step into my studio each day.

Delvene's work is far more than just marks on a page. It embodies a rich connection to country, capturing the Quandamooka soul.

My mother taught me to embroider when I was in primary school. I always think it was a way to make me sit still and yet keep me busy. I have improved my skills over the years by attending fantastic workshops and have learnt many different forms of embroidery including Cross stitch, Wool embroidery, Stumpwork, Crewel, Elizabethan, Ribbon, Goldwork and Brazilian.

I’m a potter and have been working with clay for about 7 years since moving to Straddie. I love working on the wheel making large functional pieces for everyday use, and enjoy throwing pieces loosely before altering them by hand to produce an informal, imperfect effect.
