PB12 |
I’m very taken by Cottesloe’s iconic pavilion. I see it as a beach palace that proudly looks out over the sea, the passing ships and Rottnest Island. This painting looks south over Rottnest and Cottesloe. You can see down Gage Roads to Fremantle and Garden Island. Inland you can follow the Swan River up to the Perth CBD or the Canning River out to Applecross.
Dingo Dynasty |
$5,900 |

NF69 |
I’m imagining Dingo as the master, looking out over his kingdom. I find things like the big Dingo sign just as delightful as they were when I was a child. This painting looks up over Fremantle to Rottnest, Cottesloe and the Perth CBD. The shipping lane Gage Roads is full of whales smf kite surfers.

There is a wonderful sense of movement when kids explore a new playground. I’ve tried to create that sense of movement and discovery for you as you look over this map of your own world. This painting looks across Perth to Rottnest, over the Swan and Canning rivers, Fremantle, Cottesloe and Claremont.

RH86 |
This is a little celebration of the pine forest of Cottesloe and the colours of the kites, the ships and the houses. I am reminded of the lively European fairgrounds with their flags and joyful activity.

Birds fly, clouds float and whales dive. Movements so smooth yet behind each there’s this incredible energy we can’t see. Places include Cape Naturaliste and Geographe Bay, Yallingup, Bunker Bay and Eagle Bay.

We live in an optimistic city where the natural momentum is always carrying us forward. This is a place where people look to the future. They have a vision for how things can be. That energy is all around us.

Perth is a glittering Metropolis on the ocean’s edge. From Rockingham up to the north, your eye takes in Rottnest, Cottesloe, the city of Perth, Fremantle and the Swan River. So many delights on offer. Perth and it’s ocean overflows with colour and nourishment.

When you’re on playing fields, you can see the whole expanse out in front of you. You can see the players and the activities, and you get a sense of where you can engage. You can see how to participate. You get choices.
Our Kingdom Come |
$4,800 |
Oil on Linen Painting
|
ZT84 |
This painting is all about the heavenly quality of this place and how there is this sense of protection. In days past, towns had their forts to protect them. I imagine Fremantle, Rottnest, and Cottesloe are each little kingdoms with iconic buildings looking over them.
Red Dog By The Sea |
$3,680 |
Oil on Linen Painting

JH77 |
There’s a story about how once Red Dog hitched a ride from the Pilbara down to Fremantle. Dingo (on the Dingo Flour sign) makes me think about Red Dog out for a stroll on the beach.

I’m paying homage to our civic spaces like Cottesloe Beach. This precious place is the setting for so much joy and connection. We can all share the beach and its beauty. We can all be rich and feel the luxury of living here.
