This artwork features a winding snake painted in black against a natural linen background. The snake is filled with repeated dot patterns in white and earthy neutral tones, creating movement and texture across its body. The work is inspired by the shapes, patterns and colours found in the Australian landscape and explores the snake as a strong and recognisable form within nature.

Hi, I’m Fletcher Maher, a teenage Indigenous artist living on Kaurna Country. My art is inspired by the natural world around me—sunsets, the ocean, creeks, and rocky landscapes. I love capturing the energy of these places and bringing them to life through colours and textures.

I’m still exploring and evolving my style, but my passion for nature is at the heart of everything I create.
