Monique Burkhead

"Weaving is one of the oldest crafts in history. The basic principles were used to create everyday necessities by interlacing materials such as twigs and leaves to form stable objects. Weaving has always held a special place in the hearts of women, because it enables them to create beautiful and elegant works of art as well as creative expression, which is required for the divine feminine.

Pottery is the oldest of all human handicrafts. In ancient times, water was transported in handwoven baskets. Clay would be present in the water, particularly in river water. The shape of the basket was formed as the clay dried. People eventually figured out that these clay linings could be used to make strong containers. As a result, the first clay pots were created. 

I have combined my love of these two ancient art forms into a beautiful fusion."

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.
