Coco-May is an 11-year-old local artist. Coco comes from six generations of artists and has been learning from her Nanna Mimi since she could pick up a paintbrush. She loves to paint and particularly loves creating her own colours. Coco-May gets her inspiration from the local wildlife and nature that surrounds her.

I was raised on Straddie and have a deep love of its beauty. Our first home at Point Lookout was a fibro cottage overlooking Main Beach, it was beautiful watching the storms come up from the South and I love painting stormy seascapes.
