SPOTLIGHT ON FIRST NATIONS ART | FAIR MURALS
Lauren Rogers is a First Nations artist with bloodlines to Ngarabul and the Torres Strait Islands, based in Meanjin (Brisbane), whose work is deeply connected to Country, kinship, and cultural storytelling. With a background in visual arts and design, Lauren’s practice explores themes of environmental stewardship, identity, and the interwoven narratives of land, water, and people. Her work spans fine art, textiles, and large-scale public installations, often incorporating traditional and contemporary techniques to reflect the ongoing dialogue between heritage and innovation.
Lauren will be creating a brand-new fair mural `Flourish:Stories of Meanjin` as a tribute to the rich stories and enduring beauty of Country. This one-of-a-kind hand painted mural brings to life the native flowers and foliage that thrive in this place, honouring the land, waters, and the custodians who have cared for it for millennia. Our fair murals are proudly sponsored by our friends at @reseneaustralia.

Curated Selections | Moments from Queensland
The ripple of water from a City Cat gliding down the river. Swim caps bobbing in the cool blue of an early morning pool. Sunlight flickering off tin roofs of Queenslanders, and cattle lowing softly by a rippling creek. Below the surface, coral blooms quietly on the Great Barrier Reef.
These artworks don’t just show Queensland, they feel like it.
