I was born on Thursday Island but I grew up in Moa Island, Kubin Village. As a child I’ve learnt certain things in life, traditional work with art. I live on Kubin with my mother and two siblings. I would like to base my painting and drawings on the environment surroundings location of my area which is the landscape of the sea and cultural heritage. I haven’t been to any previous exhibitions or art awards but it would be amazing if I attended one in the next upcoming years.
Moa Arts is the trading name of Ngalmun Lagau Minaral, which means ‘our island’s design’. We are an Indigenous owned and operated Art Centre on Mua Island in the western cluster of Zenadth Kes – the Torres Strait.
Through our artwork we keep Mualgal traditions and Zenadth Kes arts and culture strong for everyone. Creative inspiration for the work at Moa Arts comes from Mualgal ancestral stories, totemic representation and connections to sea, land, sky and family. Mua’s artists don’t have to look far to be inspired. The island and its surrounding waters and reefs hold a diverse set of land and marine ecosystems with niches for many rare and unique species such as dugong and sea turtle.
Moa Arts’ reputation is built on the calibre of its limited edition lino prints and etchings, works on paper, woven baskets and bags and traditional island style jewellery – beaded necklaces and earrings. Everything is made on Moa Island and the proceeds of our sales go back directly to our artists and developing creative programs to support the community.
