A little Kalbarri challenge update 🌿

Earlier this year, I set myself a personal challenge: 10 mini Kalbarri paintings in 10 weeks.

I’m very pleased to say I’m still on track!

Here’s a little peek at painting number 8 taking shape in the studio. Just two more paintings to complete in three weeks... I think I’m going to make it!

This little work takes me back to Rainbow Valley, one of the places that completely changed the way I saw Kalbarri on my recent trip.

Here, the landscape feels like a story written in stone. Bands of warm reds, pinks, ochres and creams sweep through the exposed coastal rock, with layers, ripples and weathered surfaces revealing a landscape shaped over an extraordinary span of time.

I loved following those lines through the rock, noticing where the layers curved, fractured and disappeared, then emerged again further along the trail. Against the coastal vegetation, blue ocean and huge sky, the colours felt almost exaggerated, yet they were all there in the landscape.

These 10 small paintings have become more than a challenge to keep me painting each week. They are helping me explore the colours, geology and memories I brought home from Kalbarri, and are becoming little studies for where this body of work might travel next.

8 down. 2 to go. 🌊🪨

There's still time to visit the Moving Life – 9Ɨ5 Art Prize 2026, but not much.

This exhibition has been a wonderful celebration of Western Australian creativity, bringing together artists who have interpreted the theme of movement in fascinating and unexpected ways.

I've loved seeing visitors spend time with the artworks, discovering how much atmosphere, storytelling and emotion can be contained within a small 9Ɨ5 inch surface.

My own work, inspired by Injidup Natural Spa, continues to remind me why I am drawn to landscapes shaped by both deep time and constant change. The flowing water and ancient granite speak to themes that remain central to my practice: memory, endurance, transformation and connection to place.

If you haven't yet visited, I encourage you to support the talented local artists exhibiting in this year's prize.

Take a friend, enjoy a coffee by the foreshore and spend some time immersed in Western Australian art.

Make a Day of It in Mandurah
If you're planning a visit to see the Moving Life 9Ɨ5 Art Prize, why not make a full day of it in Mandurah?

The Peel region offers some incredible inspiration for artists, photographers and nature lovers alike.
My recommendations:

🌿 Walk among the Giants of Mandurah and experience how art can interact with landscape.
🌊 Visit the Mandurah Boardwalk and Eastern Foreshore, particularly in the early morning when the estuary reflections and changing light are at their best.
🦠 Explore Lake Clifton's remarkable thrombolites—among the oldest living life forms on Earth and a fascinating reminder of deep time.

ā˜• Grab a coffee from HUDDLE: the brew, or DPM CafĆ©.

🄐 Treat yourself to pastries from Lily Paris French Café & Pâtisserie,

Then finish the day by exploring the incredible collection of artworks currently on display at the Alcoa Mandurah Art Gallery.

Art, nature, coffee and beautiful landscapes—a perfect day out.

As the final days of the 2026 Cossack Art Awards approach, I keep thinking about how special this exhibition truly is.

Not only because of the calibre of artwork exhibited here, but because of where it happens.

A tiny historic town.
Ancient Pilbara landscape.
Heritage buildings transformed into galleries.
Artists and audiences gathering from across Australia.

For a few weeks every year, Cossack becomes something extraordinary.

The awards have grown from humble beginnings into one of regional Australia’s most significant acquisitive art prizes, yet they still retain this incredible sense of authenticity, warmth and connection to place.

That spirit is something I deeply value as an artist.

Exhibiting Welcoming Waters here has felt especially meaningful because the work itself is grounded in the landscapes of the Pilbara and the idea of deep time — acknowledging humans as temporary visitors within environments shaped over millions of years.

Karijini’s ancient rock formations hold such quiet power and endurance. Through my practice in Abstract Realism, I try to capture both their physical presence and emotional resonance through colour, texture, gesture and movement.

To have this work exhibited within Cossack — surrounded by the history, geology and atmosphere of the region that inspired it — feels incredibly full circle.

Thank you to everyone who has visited, supported the arts in regional WA, and taken time to engage so thoughtfully with the work throughout the exhibition.

And huge congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this remarkable event to life each year 🧔

Last night’s opening of PICCOLO was such a beautiful reminder of what art can do when it brings people together šŸ–¤

The gallery was full of curiosity, conversations, laughter, surprise, and people instinctively wandering from artwork to artwork trying to decide what they connected with most.

And the best part?
Nobody knew who made what.

Watching people engage with art purely based on emotion, colour, memory, texture, or feeling — without the influence of names or reputation — was honestly so refreshing.

Thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate, support local artists, and spend the evening with me ahead of my birthday this week. It genuinely meant so much.

If you missed opening night, the exhibition continues until August 15 and every artwork is still just $150.

That means:
ā–«ļø original art
ā–«ļø all anonymous
ā–«ļø all one-of-a-kind
ā–«ļø accessible collecting
ā–«ļø emerging + established artists side-by-side

If you’ve ever wanted to start collecting art but felt intimidated by galleries or pricing, this exhibition is the perfect place to begin.

And if you think you know my style…
go see if you can find me in the gallery 🧔

What happens when you remove the artist’s name from the wall?

That’s the question at the heart of PICCOLO — an anonymous exhibition designed to challenge how we look at art, how we value it, and why we connect to certain works over others.

Every artwork in the exhibition is:
• anonymous
• no bigger than 20 x 20cm
• priced at $150

And honestly, I think that’s what makes it so powerful.

Without artist names attached, viewers are forced to slow down and trust their instinct. You choose the work that genuinely resonates with you emotionally or visually — not the work attached to status, reputation, or hype.

It creates this incredible sense of equality and discovery.

An established artist hangs beside a first-time exhibitor.
A child’s work sits alongside professional painters.
Every piece gets the same opportunity to connect with someone.

I’ve contributed a small painting to the exhibition and I’m genuinely excited (and slightly nervous) to see if anyone can recognise my style anonymously šŸ‘€

And for collectors, this is such a rare opportunity.
Original artworks.
Affordable pricing.
A chance to discover emerging artists early.
And the excitement of not knowing whose work you’re taking home until after purchase.

I love exhibitions that make art feel welcoming rather than exclusive — and PICCOLO does exactly that.

Opening Night:
29 July | 6–8pm
Inglewood Arts Hub
895 Beaufort Street, Inglewood

This year I get to celebrate my birthday surrounded by art, creativity, community, and all of you… and honestly I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it 🧔

The opening night of PICCOLO lands on July 29th, just two days before my birthday on the 31st, so I’m officially calling this my birthday celebration week ✨

I would absolutely love for you to join me.

PICCOLO is one of the most inclusive and refreshing exhibitions I’ve come across — a fully anonymous art show where artists aged 7+ exhibit side-by-side, from emerging creatives to established professionals.

Every artwork:
ā–«ļø no bigger than 20 x 20cm
ā–«ļø anonymous
ā–«ļø original
ā–«ļø $150

No hierarchy.
No ego.
Just connection.

There’s something really beautiful about walking through a room and choosing work purely because it moves you — not because of the artist’s name or market value.

And somewhere in that exhibition is one of my paintings šŸ‘€

No one will know which piece is mine unless it sells… so I want to know:
Do you think you could recognise my work without my name attached to it?

I genuinely can’t wait to see which pieces people gravitate toward.

Whether you’re an art collector, someone wanting to buy your first original artwork, or simply curious to experience something different, this exhibition is such a special one.

Come celebrate art.
Come celebrate community.
Come celebrate my birthday with me šŸ„‚

Some places don’t just ask to be observed.
They ask to be felt.

Karijini is one of those places.

When creating Welcoming Waters, I wasn’t interested in simply documenting the landscape. I wanted to capture the sensory and emotional experience of being there — the coolness of the water against sun-warmed skin, the echo of cascading water against ancient stone, the immense scale of geological time held within the gorge walls.

This painting explores both movement and stillness.
Power and intimacy.
Impermanence and endurance.

The banded iron formations within Karijini are among some of Earth’s earliest geological structures, shaped over unimaginable stretches of time. To stand within these landscapes is to become aware of your own temporary presence within something ancient and ongoing.

That idea sits at the core of my practice.

Through Abstract Realism, I use layered textures, expressive brushwork, exaggerated colour and dynamic mark making to move beyond representation and toward emotional resonance — creating works that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the land.

I’m incredibly honoured that this work will be exhibited as part of the 2026 Cossack Art Awards.

For three weeks, the historic town of Cossack becomes a cultural meeting place filled with artists, visitors, stories and extraordinary artworks from across Australia. The awards have become one of the most significant cultural events in regional WA and continue to celebrate both emerging and established artistic voices.

And honestly, there could not be a more fitting setting for this work than the Pilbara itself 🧔
