Chloe Padmore is a Dulgubarra-Yidinji marketer, artist, and small business owner (Cherry Picked Creative) working on Wurundjeri land. They are a published writer, writing for organisations such as Project Loudly and Blak & Bright (that’s us!). With years of experience marketing and advocating for First Nations stories and wellbeing, Chloe holds a deep belief that First Nations stories should be marketed by First Nations people.

They are an award-winning photographer, their piece winning the Devonport Councillor’s Highly Commended Prize. Both their painting and photography have been showcased in multiple art exhibitions. Chloe has a passion for performing, having experience with public speaking and stage shows as well. They performed a Yarn Bomb at our 2024 Festival which received high praise from fellow Artists.

Chloe also collaborates with Merri-bek City Council to run ‘Busy Bees’ as part of Lee’s Café - a queer monthly social event - to provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ people of all ages, particularly those who are neurodiverse.
