Lost Eden Creative is an artist-run gallery and creative hub in Dwellingup, Western Australia, founded and led by artist and curator Monique Tippett. Over six years, Lost Eden presented 50+ curated solo and group exhibitions and supported 400+ local, national and international artists—helping establish Dwellingup as a recognised cultural destination within the Peel region. Lost Eden has contributed to major statewide initiatives including The Creative Grids – Alternative Archivesand Open Borders, and was twice selected as a statewide host venue for the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial (IOTA) in 2021 and 2024—placing Dwellingup on the map for high-quality contemporary craft and visual arts.

Monique Tippett is a multi-award-winning regional artist whose practice is grounded in the forest landscapes of southwest Western Australia. Through Lost Eden, she has created a platform for exhibitions, residencies, mentoring and community programming—supporting emerging artists and building creative pathways in a regional context. Importantly, this work has been delivered without external operational funding, sustained through enterprise, partnerships and community support.

Alongside the gallery, Garden Eats Café operates as a family-run café led by Ebony Tippett, offering fresh seasonal food and creating a warm, welcoming gathering place for locals and visitors. Today, Lost Eden Creative and Garden Eats work together as an integrated creative and hospitality enterprise—providing a strong foundation for the next phase of workshops, skills-building and expanded creative participation.
