A little about the artist ….

Bernadette works across multiple media and her approach is typically interdisciplinary – interweaving her studio-based practice with her professional arts, environmental education and community cultural development work.

Her creative enquiries explore the following themes: Nature, culture, the metaphysical, connectivity, myth and mortality.

Bernadette is also a passionate landcare volunteer who leads an urban, riparian regeneration project in her home suburb of Garbutt, Townsville in Queensland, Australia.

In 2012 and 2013, Bernadette worked on three public art works, part of a collection situated along the Ethno-botanical Trail and Historical Timeline on Townsville’s Jezzine Barracks / Kissing Point / Garabarra redevelopment. One of the artworks, Pandanus, was fabricated by Andy Frost, his assistant Sha Doh and Bernadette on Magnetic Island (Yunbenun) over the winter of 2013.
