I am honoured to have been commissioned by NSW Health Infrastructure to lead the integrated art project at the New Eurobodalla Hospital in Moruya, NSW. Situated on the traditional lands of the Yuin peoples, this brand-new sustainable hospital will support the needs of the Eurobodalla Shire, from Narooma to Batemans Bay.

Shape your new Eurobodalla Hospital

Community Drawing Workshops — Eurobodalla Regional Hospital Art Project

From September to October 2025, Erica led a series of free community drawing workshops across the Eurobodalla region as part of the public art commission for the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital, commissioned by NSW Health Infrastructure. Held in local libraries, galleries, and gardens, the workshops welcomed participants of all ages and abilities to contribute their drawings and ideas. These creative sessions provided an inclusive space for the community to express their connection to place and to help shape the visual identity of the new hospital.

The final artworks developed from community contributions, and comments and suggestions will inspire and be integrated into the hospital’s design, embedding local voices and visions into the heart of this important new public facility.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to participate!
