QUEENSLAND Pharmacy Guild of Australia Acting President Chris Owen (pictured) this week unveiled a new painting commissioned from Torres Strait Islander artist Barry Maitie, as part of the organisation's NAIDOC Week 2021 commemoration.
The artwork is titled 'HisTree' reflecting Maitie's homeland of Malu Kiai, Boigu, and "his distinctive style expresses the vibrant spirit and atmosphere of the Torres Strait culture," according to Owen.
Owen is also holding a copy of the Guild's Reconciliation Action Plan, with many community pharmacy members this week sharing heartfelt stories about how they are working locally to "close the gap" on the Queensland Guild Facebook page: facebook.com/pharmacyguildqld.
