For visitors to Townsville looking to grab a unique souvenir on the way home, a vendor stall at the airport is allowing for travellers to take home a piece of homemade art made by a local artist.

Ms Stone said she is grateful to be a part of the new additions at Townsville Airport, having previously created a 150 square metre ocean-scape mural at the airport terminal.

“Ever since I was commissioned to do a mural at the airport, they said they would love to get my products into their store,” she said.

“I’ve had such a great response, and people are really loving my tropical, ocean-inspired pieces from earrings to homewares and taking them with them back home.”

Ms Stone said it was a great opportunity to showcase Townsville makers and artists to those coming to or leaving the region.

“Everything I have curated for the airport has been smaller grab-and-go items that people can pop in their bag to gift someone back home or as a treat for themselves.”
