MEET LEAH & DION.

Sharing our slice of country

We’re Leah and Dion Cross, living on our little slice of country just outside Chinchilla in the Western Downs. With a love for all things rustic, vintage, and handcrafted, we’ve spent years creating artworks and sculptures that tell unique stories.

Now, our dream is to share this passion with others—through art workshops, creative experiences, and a welcoming country venue where people can gather, celebrate, and be inspired. Ready to celebrate with us? Find out more about hosting your next event at The Barn.

SCULPTURE WITH SOUL.

Home of Dion Cross Sculptures

Dion Cross is a well-known Western Downs metal sculptor, admired locally and beyond for his ability to transform recycled metals and historic vintage pieces into striking works of art. 

Soon, Dion will be hosting hands-on metal art workshops at The Dusty Chook, giving you the chance to create your own unique sculpture in a welcoming, creative space. Join our email list to be the first to know when workshops open!

A place where love, laughter, and
art come to life.
