Maharlina Gorospe-Lockie was born in Manila, Philippines, in 1969 and moved to Cairns in 2013.
While in the Philippines, Maharlina worked in coastal zone management, looking at ways impoverished fishing communities relied on mangroves and coral reefs for food, income and survival. Her extensive research and knowledge of these practices inform her current art works.
Maharlina is an emerging artist whose work has been exhibited in FNQ Contemporaries at the Cairns Art Gallery in 2021. In the same year she was a recipient of the Cairns Art Gallery’s inaugural Artists Fellowship Award.
