The Story Behind Our Shield

Euphemia Bostock's Art

Cultural Foundations

Wandan's visual identity is deeply rooted in the artistic legacy of Euphemia Bostock (1936-2024), a revered Bundjalung-Mununjali Elder and artist whose work 'Shields' forms the foundation of our logo.

Known affectionately as 'Phemie', she was Blake Hurley's Great Grandmother, creating a direct line between Wandan's present mission and its cultural heritage.

The 'Shields' artwork, chosen as Wandan's logo, represents more than visual identity – it embodies protection, strength, and cultural continuity.

By incorporating Euphemia's artwork into our brand, Wandan maintains a living connection to our cultural foundations. Her artistic vision continues to inspire our approach to community engagement, cultural authenticity, professional service delivery, Indigenous employment initiatives and respect for traditional lands.

  • "I also see myself as a builder because my inspiration comes to me when I am actually handling the material I am working with."

    - Euphemia Bostock, 2021
