  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 rising Indigenous artist from the southern Gold Coast. A proud young Kungadidji 16-year-old, she loves to surf, skate and paint — passions often reflected throughout her work through ocean elements, blue tones and boho-inspired pastels.

In 2023, Taylor-Lee’s NAIDOC Week artwork was selected as one of six highly commended pieces by the Queensland Government. Shortly after, she was awarded the Young, Black & Proud Scholarship for her art.

Balancing school, surfing and creativity, Taylor-Lee continues to design and share new artworks through Ochre Sisters — named after both herself and her younger Indigenous sister.
