There’s so many uses for these stunning throws ~ They can be used as a picnic rug down the beach or park for the whole family to sit on, as a bed throw for extra warmth or to decorate or change the colour way of your bed, a lounge throw to add texture, vibrancy or warmth, a beach towel to dry yourself with after a swim in the ocean, a blanket to snuggle up in around a fire or to watch a movie, a wall hanger to display as beautiful Indigenous tapestry & more. 

The Story Behind The Art 

Alkira depicts the landscape of country. It tells a sentimental story of how the land meets a fresh water river, creating harmony between elements. Environmental connections are important to the community and create bonds between the people and nature. The flourishing flower represents new life, growth and change. While the wavy line illustrates a river, full of abundance. The two U shapes sitting on the river is the symbol for people and conveys the message of community and how mob is a part of the ecosystem. The vibrant colours help to depict liveliness and joy of nature.

About The Artist 

Taylor-Lee is a new and upcoming Indigenous artist from the southern Gold Coast. She’s a proud young Kungadidji (14 year old who loves to surf, skate and paint. Often her art pieces will reflect this passion with ocean features, blue hues or boho pastels. 

In 2023 Taylor-Lee’s artwork she designed for Naidoc Week was one of six highly commended art pieces  chosen by the Qld government. Not long after this she then went on to win the Young, Black & Proud Scholarship for her art.

Taylor-Lee has since worked hard between her school work and surfing, designing new pieces that she sells on Instagram known as Ochre_Sisters in name of her and her younger indigenous sister.
