  • Experiencing another Kimberley Sunset.

    Isolated, somewhere near the Old Kurunjie Road, between Wyndham and the Pentecost River Crossing, WA.

    The odd tree silhouetted against the sunset. Millions of bats flying out over the evening sky. Can’t help thinking that this is one great space to absorb and contemplate.

  • We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. On the ground, in the creek beds, it is not about the geological forces but the adaption of the trees to to the climate. Towards the end of 2019 Arkaroola had experienced the longest, driest conditions in living memory. Red Gums that were hundreds of years old were dying. The desiccated landscape was facing its biggest challenge. Having seen it at it best, we were witnessing a potential disaster. Every major drought asks the question, will the landscape recover?  
  • Mt Ward from Split Rock

    (Ridge Top Tour Track).

    One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape. I am really attracted to this place. It is not just the power of the landscape, but the colour of the hills on the horizon and on the face of Split Rock. I enjoy the challenge of bringing all that I see to canvas.

    Arkaroola is synonymous with the ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty.

    Arkaroola offers the famous Ridgetop Tour which takes you to Sillers Lookout. One of the most exhilarating experiences in a most exhilarating landscape.

  • Mt Ward from Split Rock (Ridge Top Tour Track).

    One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape. I am really attracted to this place. It is not just the power of the landscape, but the colour of the hills on the horizon, the bright haze emerging from behind the hills and the colour on the face of Split Rock. I enjoy the challenge of bringing all that I see to canvas.

    Arkaroola is synonymous with the ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty.

  • Mara Murumuru Waterhole

    Tillite Gorge Area

    One of the iconic vistas of the Arkaroola Landscape. Arkaroola is synonymous with the ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty.

    This morning I walked from Stubbs Waterhole towards the Tillite Gorge, and caught the morning light giving colour to the rockfaces and providing twice the effect with the reflections in the still waterhole.

  • We talk about the patience of the fisherman. In this work I have tried to capture the solitude of the fisherman. Half looking out to sea, contemplative, not really expecting a bite, but at peace with the waves lapping up around the ankles. The Francois Peron National Park, Denham WA is a special place.  
  • A Special Australian Landscape

    The inspiration for this painting came from a visit to the Streeton Exhibition in Sydney early 2021. Quite a number of Australian impressionists took to the beaches around Sydney and produced many notable paintings.

    This painting takes you to Manly Beach and a view across to Shelly Beach.

  • What is it about a Pilbara Landscape that draws you in? Is it the ochre red of the iron soaked ranges that fade to purple and blue in the distance. Is it the plains of the yellow of the spinifex catching the afternoon sun. Could it be the gorge with its exposed red sides. A visit to the Millstream - Chichester National Park offers more that an average Australian Outback experience.
  • We talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This view of Mt Ward is the iconic vista painted from the angle of Split Rock. I have tried to capture the essence of the landscape, the feel the morning breeze before the afternoon heat. Colour before the afternoon haze There is an interaction between the ruggedness and the beauty. Stretching out past Mt Ward we see the characteristic purple hue as the distant peaks fade into the horizon. Split Rock is a tea break stop along the famous Ridgetop Tour, which best exemplifies the character of this region.
