Step into Oasis on Straddie, a proud host venue for some of our talented local artists during this year’s Straddie Arts Trail. Soak in our relaxed bohemian garden while exploring local artwork, then settle in for a fantastic dinner.

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 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.

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.”

Cloud Fish Bookstore is a shop of curated treasures. Island reference books, new release and cult classic novels, children's books and games, and a great array of island tea towels, art cards, stickers and paintings by local artist, Jennie Truman.

Elisa Jane Carmichael is a Ngugi woman belonging to the Quandamooka people (Moreton Island / Mulgumpin and North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah, Queensland). Her practice draws on Ancestral knowledge, matrilineal connections, memories of place and relationships with Country. She is passionate about shining a light on the cultural brilliance of her Ancestors so that these stories can be kept alive for future generations.

I am a multidisciplinary designer with a particular affinity for ceramics, creating collectable treasures inspired by island living and the quiet beauty of everyday rituals. Working intuitively across materials, I design objects that bring texture, story, and a sense of place into the spaces they inhabit.

I am an emerging self-taught artist with multiple awards since I first began drawing and painting in 2020. I have developed my artistic practice and technical skill with patience and emotional connection that is obvious throughout my work.

This year we are proud to feature works from local artist, Bernadette Mollison. Starting out as a market stall, we now have three small shops side by side and our range has expanded to include pots, plants, homewares, swimwear, apparel and giftware. We would love for you to visit us during the Straddie Arts Trail weekend.

My lamps are created from my love of textiles that I have gathered from across the globe - ikats, indigo, barkcloth, ecodyes, European linens or just plain funky. My joy comes from teaming these with amazing bases.

Gabriel D'Hage-Craig is a Stradbroke Island-based artist whose practice bridges the raw energy of street art and the restless experimentation of digital design.

From the Bowman Family, makers of Stradbroke Island Organic Honey, comes Hive Studio - a mother-daughter venture of Theresa and Leone, transforming vintage tablecloths and reclaimed textiles into wearable heirlooms. Slow fashion made with intention; the same care and passion in our stitching as in every honey jar.

I’ve loved Straddie for many, many years and have lived here since 2004. Living on this precious island beside the beautiful ocean is a privilege and a constant inspiration for my pottery and painting - two of my delights.

The Hidden Treasure Art Show is a community exhibition celebrating creativity, connection, and the joy of giving. Created as a fundraiser for Dunwich State School and generously hosted by the Point Lookout Surf Club, the show brings together local artists, students, families, and visitors to contribute original artworks in a unique anonymous art sale experience.

I am a 22-year-old mixed media artist and current student at the Queensland College of Art, based in Meanjin. My practice explores colour, texture, and botanical forms through a contemporary feminist lens. Rather than depicting coastal landscapes in a traditional sense, I am drawn to the overlooked details—fragments of flora, shifting textures, and intimate moments that reshape how a place can be seen and felt.

Julie has been making small batch cold process soap and natural skincare for over 2 decades. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Island, from the bush to the ocean, she is committed to minimising our impact on the earth.
