Nathan Dowling Artist Statement 

Nathan Arthur David Dowling is a proud Kwagal lagaw ya man who's currently residing in Kubin Village, Moa Island, Torres Strait Island. Dowling began his journey creating art  when he was very little and from this early start he has continued to develop his unique skill and practice. 

Nathan Dowling had accomplished many feats including graduating from Cairns campus James Cook University in 2019 studying Creative Arts and Media, whilst also studying a Diploma in Community Services, Leadership and Disability Support. Dowling thrives in helping others. He  believes its is a way to express his undying love for the community as he was taught by his time within the Torres Strait Islands. 

2021 Nathan Dowling travelled to The Sunshine Coast where he expanded his artistic skills and expertise experimenting amongst the local Aboriginal people residing there and worked on a Yacht where Indigenous people can express their culture through 2 hour cruises through the Mooloolaba Canals. That is where Dowling refined his art practices and eventually starting selling art pieces with Saltwater Eco Tours.

 In 2025 Nathan Dowling has returned to Kubin Village to connect with the community and to develop his creative practice.  

Moa Arts

Moa Arts is the trading name of Ngalmun Lagau Minaral, which means ‘our island’s design’.
We are an Indigenous owned and operated Art Centre on Mua Island in the western cluster of Zenadth Kes – the Torres Strait.
Through our artwork we keep Mualgal traditions and Zenadth Kes arts and culture strong for everyone.
Creative inspiration for the work at Moa Arts comes from Mualgal ancestral stories, totemic representation and connections to sea, land, sky and family. Mua’s artists don’t have to look far to be inspired. The island and its surrounding waters and reefs hold a diverse set of land and marine ecosystems with niches for many rare and unique species such as dugong and sea turtle.
