Mapoon Aboriginal Shire Council

Mapoon ASC commissioned Wayne to create some large stainless steel artwork for a community beautification project in September 2018. Consisting of a crab, crocodile, set of 3 magpie geese, and signage, these pieces were installed outdoors and measure roughly 2m each. Wayne loved doing this one as he got to stretch his creative wings and come up with some really special pieces for the client.

The Cairns Convention Centre was delighted to discover Aboriginal Steel Art as a source for client gifts. Providing locally made items that also reflect our stunning Region is of utmost importance in our selection. We commissioned Wayne McGinness to produce 40 turtles to take overseas which were needed in a short time-frame. The beautiful turtles were delivered on time and ready to present as a treasured gift. The feedback we have received from both our European and North American clients has been outstanding. The turtle is a constant reminder of their meeting with the Convention Centre and gives them a small connection to the Great Barrier Reef and our Region.
