Welcome

Aboriginal Steel Art (ASA) designs and fabricates a range of corporate gifts and gift lines, awards and trophies, fine art, structural and public art installations. It is wholly owned and operated by Indigenous man, Wayne McGinness.

All pieces are created by Wayne in the workshop of his family 's rainforest home in Kuranda. The small Queensland town in Australia is just 30 kilometres up the mountain from Cairns. 

With Wayne as the only designer and fabricator, ASA gives clients a piece of authentic Australian Indigenous art with a twist.

Wayne’s career as a steel fabricator and artistic ability that he inherited from both parents, combined to make his own contemporary style of Aboriginal Art with present-day technology and materials has enabled him to produce such unique products.  Using Australian made stainless steel to ensure a superior finish, ASA creates a range of products to satisfy client needs.

The company specialises in:

1. Corporate Gifts and Gift Lines – These products cater for the customer who is looking to buy authentic aboriginal art either as a gift for clients or staff, or as a wholesale item for sale in their own business. There is also the option of having the pieces presented in hand-painted boxes, painted by Wayne too.

2. Fine Art – ASA sells larger pieces in Art Galleries throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Western Australia. Pieces can also be commissioned in consultation with the client to suit their individual needs and requirements.

3. Awards and Trophies – There is a large range of different award styles, as well as commemorative gifts, ceremonial plaques, Acknowledgment of Tradition Owners and Staff Recognition trophies. Like the installation of Traditional Owner plaques for Kmart and SBS Australia. ASA has proudly made the awards for The National NAIDOC Awards too.

4. Structural and Public Art Installations – Recent commissions include artwork for three Crystalbrook hotels in Cairns and some older jobs to mention a few, are six, two metre wide, magpie geese fitted with LED lighting and stained glass eggs. The geese are suspended in formation above the business atrium of "The Avenue" in Darwin.
