Collection: MAREE KOO'OILA

An emerging artist at Wik & Kuru, Maree is the granddaughter of the late Akay Koo'oila who was one of the first female painters in Aurukun. Like her grandmother, Maree applies bold colour combinations to express her unique cultural identity. Her paintings draw on the lands surrounding Aurukun, including her own tribal country of Wal-ngal and Knox River. Maree belongs to the Winchanam Ceremonial Clan. 

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.
