Lorna Epps Artist

Lately I’ve been dreaming about creating something a little different here in Cairns… ✨

A beautiful boutique creative space.
Part studio.
Part gallery.
Part intimate creative sanctuary.

A space filled with art, connection, inspiration and beautiful energy — somewhere creatives and art lovers can gather, exhibit, create and connect in a more personal and inspiring setting.

Over the past few years through my workshops, retreats and creative events, I’ve seen how deeply people are craving spaces that feel authentic, welcoming and creatively inspiring.

I already have my larger private studio and deck space nestled within the rainforest canopy in Edge Hill for bigger workshops, retreats and gatherings… but lately I’ve been exploring the idea of creating a smaller boutique gallery-style space as an extension of that creative world.

A more intimate space for:
✨ curated artwork
✨ creative collaborations
✨ artisan makers
✨ smaller workshops and creative evenings
✨ artist conversations and connection
✨ boutique creative experiences

The little space I’ve found feels beautifully aligned aesthetically and creatively, and I’m currently sitting with the idea and exploring what it could evolve into.

I’d genuinely love your thoughts…

Do you feel Cairns is craving more spaces like this?
Would you visit a space that blended art, creativity, conversation, workshops and community in a more intimate and curated way?

And for my creative community —
what kinds of creative experiences, workshops or gatherings do you feel are currently missing here?

This is still very much in the dreaming and planning stage, but sometimes the most beautiful ideas begin quietly… and continue calling you forward 🤍

I’d love to hear your thoughts below ✨

“Drifted through turquoise water with turtles and manta rays today… 🐢💫
Nusa Penida, you’re pure ocean magic. Feeling calm, inspired, and so grateful for this beautiful blue world 🌊🌴
