 ‘Wild Dog Rock’ looks at how rugged, energetic and alive a site can be when you consider its place in the past, present and future. This site forms part of the Wild Dog Dreaming of Alice Springs and is a 5-minute walk from the Araluen Precinct towards Larapinta. It deserves environmental and creative attention due to the invasive buffel grass surrounding it, sheltering litter and promoting unhealthy bushfires. Many sites, like Corroboree Rock have been fortunate enough to have both Parks & Wildlife and traditional custodians working together for its preservation.

This is now the second painting of this site, which is uncommon in my practice, but clearly this means it is a place that gives. I love the feeling of loyalty, patience and longevity to a subject when so often your creative endeavor is fickle and forever changing.

Studio visits welcomed.
