ST LAWRENCE WETLANDS
Festival Project 2025

Project Overview

I was commissioned to redesign printed materials for the 2025 St Lawrence Wetlands Festival in collaboration with Kuril & Currawong Ecology, the Koinmerburra Aboriginal Corporation, and Isaac Regional Council.
This included six illustrated activity numbers, an event site map, and a children’s stamp certificate.

in collaboration with

Kuril & Currawong is a collaborative ecological consulting network led by Dr Renee Rossini that brings together ecologists, First Nations partners and environmental experts to deliver innovative, justice-focused solutions for threatened species recovery, Indigenous-led land strategies, ecological consulting and environmental market initiatives across Australia.

The Isaac region in central Queensland is an area of significant cultural importance to multiple Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, including the Koinjmal, Widi, Birriah, Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala, Jangga, Barada Barna, Western Kangoulu and Wirdi Peoples, whose enduring connection to land, waters, stories and community continues to shape the region’s identity, stewardship and cultural heritage.

I would like to acknowledge and pay respects to the traditional
Custodians of the land this project took place on; the Koinjmal
People of Koinmerburra Country.

Sovereignty never ceded.

Creation Process
& Reflection

The process of creating each resource was based on where the paired store activity resided on the wetlands, this was a fun project and one of the first I was really about to immerse myself in the land and cultural research, even working from far away.

I utilised Google Earth to help identify how the landscape flowed, as well as the incredible citizen science research from the site iNaturalist, going more in depth into the ST Lawrence Wetlands thriving ecosystems.

Having the freedom to do my own research as both an artist and a Environmental scientist was a really special milestone for me, I hope to continue merging environmental studies with art resources!
