This Painted Earth will be exhibited at the Brunswick Street Gallery 9 - 21 January 2027 as part of the Small Works Art Prize.

Inspired by the extraordinary colours and rugged beauty of the Painted Desert near Coober Pedy, this work explores the richness and energy of the Australian outback. Layers of dusty pink, burnt orange, ochre and earthy red evoke a landscape shaped by time, light and the elements. Expressive marks, texture and shifting colour capture not just a place, but the feeling of travelling through a vast and beautifully unexpected landscape.
