The Pilbara region of Western Australia covers over 507,000 sq kms and is recognized as one of the oldest landscapes on earth (3.5 billion years old). the regions golden Spinifex plains, magnificent Termite mounds scattered like sentinels in the vast expanse, rugged red iron-rich Ranges, dramatic plunging Gorges and abundant Wildlife create a living canvas of natural haunting beauty.
For me as an Artist the Pilbara is a timeless muse. The raw power of its landscape and untamed beauty is a constant reminder of nature's Artistry. Through my creative process I hope to capture the essence of this remarkable region, helping to preserve its legacy for generations to come.
