ARTIST COMMENTS: "Colours of Baw Baw" was inspired by the diverse scenery of the Baw Baw Shire; the place I call home. This piece was specially designed as an entry for the Department of Transport and Planning’s ‘Transporting Arts Pilot Project’. The Project’s design brief called for artists to showcase what makes Baw Baw Shire exceptional, with the succesful artwork being displayed on a footbridge at the Warragul Train Station. “Colours of Baw Baw’ was succesful and is now displayed for all to enjoy as they travel to and from Warragul.
I desgined this piece to capture the red soil potato fields of Thorpdale, the rolling green and sepia hills of Neerim and Yarragon, and the rivers and streams that weave between them. It depicts the sun, and the pinks that settle over the horizon when it sets. The Princes Fwy divides the landscape, and represents growth and the linkages to city and country. The landscape is accompanied by local flora; Silver Banksia, Gully Grevillea (endemic to West Gippsland) and the rare Graceful Sun Orchids that sit atop the Baw Baw plateau. Keeping watch over it all are the Azure Kingfishers of Noojee and the Superb Fairy Wrens that flitter among the shrubbery. The work is a joyous, colouful expression of life in Baw Baw.
ORIGINAL ARTWORKS: Painted with high quality UV resistant acrylic paints on 440gsm, acid free, linen-cotton blend canvas.
