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.
