Goompi's Girl

"My name is Nicole Chatfield (nee Enoch) born and raised in Cairns, Far North Queensland and I am Irukandji (Cairns to Port Douglas) and Nughi (Stradbroke/Moreton Island) Aboriginal woman. My artist name is Goompi’s Girl proudly given to me by my dad who was given that name by his elders from North Stradbroke Island.

I was born and raised in Cairns and moved to Brisbane to study Aboriginal Art at the Queensland Colledge of Art in 1999 and remain there until 2019,  I had taken a break from art to work and raise a family. 
I began weaving once reconnected and returned to North Queensland with my family in 2019 and enjoyed having more opportunities to participate in grassroots projects and support whilst returning home.  The practice of weaving is done by my aunties and many other aboriginal women elders in North Queensland.

It is because of my family, connection to country,  children, and spirituality that art and being creative have been rekindled and nurtured after laying dormant for a few years." - Nicole Chatfield

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
