We are visitors living on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders both past and present. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.

 

ACTION

Louise and I love to print on paper, but we are aware of the environmental impact that making and selling items through our e-commerce store has on the environment. To reduce our footprint and in an effort to make change for the better, among other things, when and where we can, we make a monthly donation to The Nature Conservancy Australia to protect the habitat of the Northern quoll. Consider adopting an acre today.

Alongside our art work, as of 2024, we are Tiny but Wild, a licensed wildlife shelter based, like our studio, in our home in North Fitzroy, Melbourne / Naarm.

After being foster carers for RSPCA Victoria (2017–2021), and Grey-headed flying-fox carers for Bat Rescue Bayside (2020–2023), and as current Wildlife Victoria rescuers and carers (2021–onwards), this next step perhaps seemed written-in-the-leaves inevitable..

We are SEED mob community supporters and make a monthly donation to help them continue to grow. You can support SEED’s campaigns to Protect Country and Don’t frack the NT too.

We offset our site’s CO2 emissions through Tree Nation.

We use an ethical super fund, and bank responsibly.

Because, ultimately:

 
Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.
