Florae II is a group exhibition featuring artworks across diverse media, created in response to native plants and the endemic plant communities of the wet and dry tropics of North Queensland. 

The artists collectively share concern for humanity’s growing disconnection from the natural world and with Florae II, aim to propagate a richer appreciation of native flora to encourage greater connection between the people and the environment.

The five artists each present their unique perspectives on plants growing in some of these urban, liminal and wild spaces, and their artworks are presented as a an organic installation.

Exhibition launch
6pm Friday 7 November 2025
Further event details and related public programs coming soon

The Florae II Collective is composed of an intergenerational group of five north Queensland women. Alexandra Boscacci, Bernadette Boscacci, Ellen Clark, Katherine Cornwall and Naomi Smith each share an interest in arts and culture, and value the positive holistic effects that plants and nature have on health and wellbeing.  

Based in Gurambilbarra / Townsville, the artists are motivated to include and provide spaces for plants within their homes, communities and workplaces.  They advocate for greater interaction with plants and their presence in our shared environments through conservation, cultivation, art and design. The collective’s creative projects and artworks span multiple mediums, disciplines and styles which provides fertile ground for a dynamic creative dialogue and collaboration.
