The colours in the back ground represent the Pilbara landscape with a hint of colour piercing through representing the scattered wildflowers found all across the country side.The white circles on top represent man made structures from roadhouses, bridges, pipelines to small communities and towns whilst leaving gaps to represent the long stretches of countryside.
In our country we have many hills of all different shapes and sizes. When driving through country at different times the colours change and some of the hills look like velvet in the evening and morning light .
Ever since I was a young girl I loved to go with my family fishing we love going to East Harding and Johns Creek. This fishing spot is where we catch alot of samons,Barramundi, Brims and also mud crabs,Now that im older we take our younger kids out there and learn them the sea side life.
In the last light of the day, the wildflowers and Country take on new colours. In the earth you can see glimmers of darker copper colours and deep burgundy as the last light of the day hits the Pilbara. The pinks represent the mulla mulla flowers and the desert sturt pea has changed from bright red to a subtle bronze red.
I am inspired by the colours in the rocks, the seeds on the ground, and the way water moves through the land. When I paint, I think about the flow of a waterway. Water is always moving, and I follow that movement in my lines and shapes. The forms in my work come from that flow, and my colours come from what I see in Country. I use strong, vivid colours because that is how I see and feel the land. There is a lot of life and energy in it. This work is about my connection to Country and the way water, land, and memory all move together.
These are the Pilbara wildflowers that grow on the ground. They have a beautiful colours blending into the Country during flower season.
