The Artists
Jay Jackal
Jay Jackal is an anonymous artist whose work confronts the emotional and political tensions of a world in crisis. Working across walls, canvas, clothing, vehicles, and public spaces, their practice merges visual art with guerrilla poetry; short, sharp statements that challenge apathy and provoke reflection. Pieces like “they drank champagne in the climate rain” and “the climate vandal is human” carry the weight of both heartbreak and defiance, demanding that audiences feel, remember, and act.
What began as unsanctioned street art has evolved into a movement rooted in resistance and urgency. Temporarily paused by an ongoing court case, Jay’s mission to turn climate action into a dare and art into a catalyst continues. The work refuses silence, insisting that to care is a radical act. For Jay Jackal, the message is louder than the name, and this is just the beginning.
Sarah Harrier
Sarah Harrier is an American artist based in Brisbane, Australia. Her work embraces imperfection, strength, and individuality; rejecting unrealistic ideals and the pressure to conform. Informed by a life shaped by travel and a background in design, Sarah’s art weaves together a rich tapestry of cultural references and a deep appreciation for art history. Her collections reflect the feminine form and everyday moments, grounded in emotion and personal observation.
Through layered textures and a subtle, tonal palette, Sarah explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the evolving human experience. Recently, her practice has shifted toward bold experimentation, introducing vibrant colours and new forms as a way of challenging the invisible boundaries we often place around ourselves. Her work invites viewers to reflect on their own narratives while embracing the freedom found in creative risk.
Julia Lebe
Julia’s practice explores how meaning emerges from the objects, rituals, and textures of daily life. Influenced by a love of ordinary beauty, her works are layered with vivid colour, graphic contrast, and tactile surfaces that invite close attention.
Blending abstraction and realism, her process balances spontaneity with thoughtful detail. Julia’s art emerges from expressive playfulness, emotion, and a desire to evoke stillness, warmth, and curiosity. Her pieces often reflect quiet narratives and a sense of ease, offering visual moments to pause.
Janet Morris
Based in Port Douglas, Janet Morris draws inspiration from the rich coastal landscape that surrounds her. Her work explores the deep connection between humanity and nature, reflecting on the beauty, fragility, and strength of our environment. Through layered, evocative pieces, Janet seeks to foster a sense of wonder and responsibility toward the Earth, highlighting the urgent need to protect what is both resilient and at risk.
A recurring theme in her practice is our aquatic origins and the evolutionary tension between camouflage and attraction between staying safe and seeking connection. Janet uses this duality to explore how our natural instincts shape human behaviour, relationships, and identity. Her art invites quiet reflection on how we adapt, survive, and reveal ourselves within the ecosystems we inhabit.
