Visitors are invited to share their own tree stories through poetry, prose or pictures. Learn how you can contribute here.
Oh MG | Chloe Wigg
Oh MG is an exhibition by Chloe Wigg, an artist living with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a diesease that causes rapid muscle fatigue. Featuring multilayerd portraits, upcycled medication bottles turned into snowflake sculptures, and crocheted snowflakes donated by the wider community, the exhibition celebrates both resilience and the spirit of togetherness.
The snowflak motif symbolises the uniquenes of each person's experience with MG and the heat sensitivity of the disease in Queensland. The portraits reflect the face's impact, showcasing challenges like double vision, swallowing and breathing. This exhibit raises awareness, honours community strength and invites understanding of this often invisible illness.
The Tulip Project | Ruth Ellington
The Tulip Project, by multi-discinplinary artist Ruth Ellington, draws from a five-month residency in 2022 as well including significant projects from the artist's 27-year practice.
This autobiographical series explores the evolving nature of her creativity, using symbolism—particularly flowers and bees—to depict the cycles of her life and transformation. Working across mixed media, painting, printing, soft sculpture, and digital imagery, Ellington presents a vibrant narrative of resilience, healing, and growth. The bee, a recurring motif, serves as a personal totem symbolizing fertility, creativity, and dedication, while the flowers embody the therapeutic power of creation and the human capacity to adapt and renew.

the GROVE GALLERY
Quiet Corners | Joy DelCastillo
Joy DelCastillo has always been drawn to express her love of nature, shapes, and colours in her art. She explores how the play of light and shade contributes to the mood of a piece, striving to express the ambiance or feelings the work brings up, often surprising herself in the process. Painting still lives, capturing everyday items including ceramics, fabrics and botanicals, elevates ordinary objects into something distinctive.
Dangles | Prudence Mapstone
Renowned for pioneering free-form crochet, Prudence Mapstone transformed the craft in the 1980s. Her unique, nature inspired creations, incorporating unconventional materials, gained international acclaim. Her work has been exhibited around the world and has been featured in many magazines and textile arts books. Her most recent project, Dangles, features hundreds of freeform, mixed textile media artworks suspended from the ceiling.
Yellow Lemonade | Angela Van Boxtel and Fraser the Rasor
Angela van Boxtel is a Dutch-born, Queensland-based artist whose work transforms single-use plastics into imaginative, thought-provoking sculptures. With a background in Media and Communications, she is a passionate advocate for environmental change, using her art to challenge consumer habits and redefine waste as untapped potential. Known for large-scale projects—including the world’s largest knitted sculpture from lemon netting and over 20,000 crocheted plastic bags—her installations have featured at festivals across Australia. Her 2021 SWELL sculpture, Yellow Lemonade, made entirely from discarded lemon netting, playfully invites viewers to rethink everyday waste and their environmental footprint.
