Bold Park View Study 1

On a rare visit to Bold Park, I walked the track which leads to a point where you can see all the way to the ocean. Although the vista was spectacular, my eyes and thoughts were drawn to the expanse of scrubby bushland before me and the creatures within. Through the use of colour and texture I wanted to capture the diversity and vibrancy of this landscape and highlight the importance of preserving such places. Back in the studio, I completed a number of studies. This is one of my favourites.

This painting would fit in a standard 8"x8" or 12cm x 12cm frame (as shown). Remove the glass within the frame to capture all the colour and texture in the work.

I am an artist based in Perth, originally from regional Western Australia.

For as long as I can remember I have been a wanderer and a dreamer, with a great love of nature. My current art practice reflects an ongoing response to my everyday environment and a desire to experiment with colour and materials. Walking, photography and sketching are my main methods of gathering source material. Combined with memory and imagination, I develop works using watercolour, gouache, acrylic paint and an assortment of drawing materials.
