Bernard Lee Singleton designed the 2026 ASP Conference logo with scientific and cultural direction from Grace Reeves which features a tick lifecycle and cultural and ecological aspects of the Gold Coast to show the connection to the local environment, the land of the Kombumerri people.
Bernard Lee Singleton is an artist born in Cairns and raised in the small Aboriginal community of Coen, Cape York. Bernard’s mother was a Djabuguy woman born in Mona Mona mission and his father is an Umpila (east coast Cape York)/Yirrkandji man from Yarrabah mission.
In 2018 Bernard painted our extraordinary painting Gula Guri mayin which (which means “Heal the body”), explores themes of parasites and health. This artwork is hanging at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
