A small group of en plein paintings I created whilst working at Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts Centre between July -August 2023. Gapuwiyak is a small, Yolŋu town in the middle of Miyarrka, a region around Arnhem Bay. I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of the Art Centre team and experience a memorable first time in East Arnhem land. Occasionally wandering down to the mysterious Lake Evella situated at the entrance to the community to paint the sunset. I was often joined by curious and enthusiastic Yolŋu of all ages sharing in paint and paper and a joyful moment together, taking selfies and showing each other our little paintings after. It was the dry season and the sky was often shrouded in smoke from the burning off bush surrounding us. Available for sale at Little Gems, 50 Buckingham St Surry Hills 9-13 December 2025.
