Collection: Lara Fujii

Badu Islander Lara Fujii blends family stories with natural elements to create acclaimed cultural artwork. Lara is from the Argan Tribe in the Torres Strait and recognises the Thupmal (golden horn stingray) as her Totem.

Lara has showcased her work at Australian museums as well as the NorthSite Contemporary Art, Gab Titui Cultural Centre on Thursday Island, and exhibited work at UMI Arts in Cairns. Her work on canvas resonated strongly with visitors of the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair and it went on to win the 2022 People’s Choice Award.

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.
