Queensland College of Art alumnus Jenna Lee has created stunning artworks that feature prominently on the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Australian team uniforms.
When the Australian athletes enter Carrara Stadium for the Games opening ceremony, they will be decked out in the traditional green and gold. However, the athletes’ formal wear has been given a distinctive twist, with Jenna’s unique print emblazoned on the ties, scarves, belts and blazers.
A proud Larrakia woman, whose family hail from the Northern Territory, Jenna’s work celebrates her diverse heritage.
“My Mum is Caucasian, and my Dad is a mix of Larrakia, Chinese and Japanese – I think that has all shaped my work,” she said.
“I had a very culturally rich upbringing – a lot of my aunties and uncles are artists, and there was always heaps of Aboriginal artwork all over our house.
“My parents are super proud that my work will be showcased at the Games.”
