We are really excited to have another wonderful artist working with us at Treecreate Studio – Felicia Lloyd.
Her practice explores ways to engage communities in the process of making and she will be leading a number of workshops in the coming months. Felicia works across a range of media and is a highly experienced facilitator and curator.
Welcome Felicia!
Artist biography
Working in digital and new media, photography, and printmaking, Felicia Lloyd is a local
artist living on Yarun (Bribie Island). With professional experience including teaching and
workshop facilitation, design, curation and events management, her work has been featured
in the Queensland Regional Art Awards, solo and group exhibitions, private and public
collections, including the QLD State Library.
Felicia created a number of temporary public artworks in the Gladstone Region and more recently for the Moreton Bay Art at Large Foreshore Footpaths project, with her artwork installed at Airforce Park in Bongaree. In 2023 she was an artist in residence at the Hub
Creative Artist Studios at Caboolture Regional Art Gallery and facilitated printmaking workshops at Caboolture Regional Art Gallery, Bribie Island Community Art Centre and Emerald State High School.
Felicia Lloyd is a skilled arts professional who works with schools, community groups and not for profit arts organisations to deliver art workshops, events, and experiences.
With over 20 years connecting with artists, to mentor and support them as they develop professional and creative skills, she has expertise in engaging audiences in a way that is accessible, sustainable and prompts creative collaboration.
Statement of intention
I will create an open printmaking studio as I undertake the research and development for a
body of work. Creation of prints, artist books and boxes, altered books, reclaimed objects
and artefacts will explore the historical development of Bribie Island in terms of place
(physical location, geography, landscape), time (pre and post world war 2) and space
(psychological, collective memories). Found objects and imagery from early enterprise and
tourism will be utilised to explore the impact of development of the Moreton Bay region on its
environment and people . Intention at some point is to exhibit artefacts as an “inconvenience
store “ where visitors are invited to explore a makeshift souvenir shop and experience hands
on printmaking demonstrations.
