I’ve lived on Straddie for 10 years and have enjoyed making art all my life. I am inspired by all the beautiful people I meet and like to use bright colour in my work. People have always been my favourite subject matter and I love to see each person come to life in my artwork.

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.”

The Bowman family have been beekeeping on Stradbroke Island since 1978 using organic principles. Find an array of bee related creativity.

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.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of clay. The pieces emerging from these raw source materials and the alchemy of glazing and firing combine in a never-ending learning journey of shapes, textures and hues!

As an artist I have worked with many mediums over the years (dress design, ceramics, clay sculptures, tapestry) and am now currently enjoying painting and resin art.

On most days when at home you’ll find me at the wheel, throwing cups, mugs, bowls & dishes, or handbuilding with a variety of clays. I enjoy incorporating delicately beautiful Japanese underglaze transfers or experimenting with different glaze colours & techniques.

I am a painter. I am a self-taught artist of over 40 years’ experience who has resided on Minjerribah for 47 years.

I am a Visual Artist pursuing my passion for creating visual works which both reflect and encourage contemplation of our world.

I am a photographic artist with a dedication to eternalizing tiny fragments of time, colour, light and shadow, aiming to transform them into timeless pieces that serve to offer solace, inspiration, rejuvenation and a moment of reflection in our fast-paced world.

'Meraki' - a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself in your work.

I'm a fibre artist weaving both practical and sculptural pieces from the heart.
