Meet the Artists
Trish Lake - artist, filmmaker and writer
At her home you'll find sketches and glimpses of the fragile yet powerful beauty of North Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah in watercolours, pastels and acrylics....Trish has spent decades observing and immersed in the mystery of the island, ever since her parents first brought her as a baby to stay at Claytons Guest House at Cylinder Beach, Point Lookout/Mulumba.
Gil Scrine - painter
I started in high school when I fell in love with my art teacher. I never took it seriously until a couple of years ago. I was too busy being a parent, running my own business, and making and distributing films to stand in front of an easel for hours. I paint landscapes and portraits. Images beckon me - they pop out and beg for paint.
Jane Milburn OAM - textile adventurer
Jane Milburn OAM embraces living simply in the beautiful natural environment of North Stradbroke Island alongside her career in rural and slow clothing advocacy. As a play-based immersive artist, she experiments with pottery, natural dyeing, stitching and permaculture gardening.
Megan Forward - artist, author, illustrator and writer
Megan Forward is an artist, author, illustrator, and writer who weaves together creativity, story, and sustainability with a deep appreciation for the interconnected wonders of the natural world. Working from her Manly, Queensland studio on Quandamooka Country, Megan creates picture books, paintings, assemblage sculptures, fine art prints, and greeting cards inspired by her surroundings.
Clare Purser - artist and art educator
I am a Moreton Bay based artist and art educator. My work as an artist explores the fragile relationship between people and the environment, drawing on observation, memory, and material experimentation. I’m fascinated by the way landscapes hold stories—both personal and ecological—and how art can encourage us to pause and reflect on our shared responsibility to protect the natural world.
