Bringing the Bush to the Burbs 2020
5th – 6th December 2020

After having to postpone the exhibition in April due to COVID, I was able to hold my fundraiser for Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA (MNDAWA) in December.

It was a huge success and I am thrilled to say raised $9,502 for MNDAWA.

Thank you to all those who attended and supported this fundraising event.

MNDAWA relies heavily on the support and generosity of the community to continue to provide a high level of care and support for those living with MND in WA.

You too can help:

Beyond Desert Dust
26 Jan – 6 Feb 2007

This Exhibition is the result of a promise I made back in 1973 when in an interview with ‘The Great Southern Herald’ I said I would one day have an exhibition.

It seems only fitting that it’s held in Katanning where I grew up and lived for most of my life.

For the past 2 ½ years I had been privileged to have been able to travel throughout the Australian outback, the Kimberley’s, Far North Queensland and the deserts – Tanami – Gibson – Great Victoria and Great Sandy. It was these areas that inspired me to take up my brushes again after 30 years.

The many thousands of kilometres I travelled thinking to myself ‘This bloody dust!’. Then, one day I stopped, got out and looked over a sand dune, I was amazed, I encourage everyone to do this. The colours you see and the images that go through your mind just by stopping and looking out ‘Beyond Desert Dust’.
