Black Rock and Pandanus, 2021

Minjerribah an island in Moreton Bay otherwise known as North Stradbroke Island is on lands of the Quandamooka people.It is a place of seemingly endless stretches of open beach lined with tall sculptural tea tree forests and rocky gorges with ever changing seas. I paint this landscape more than any other and usually find myself drawn to painting it’s forests, with this work I wanted to capture the beautiful sculptural rocky headland and the sharply contrasting forms of rock and sand dunes .
