Finding the Great Swamp

A$150.00

Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas. 15.5 x 15.5 cm (6 x 6 inches)

In my creative process to connect with water, I have sought glimpses of the Great Swamp (Stephens Swamp) that once existed where I live in Burleigh. This painting reflects the swamp around the 1940s/1950s, well after dredging began in the 1800s and when paperbarks soon grew in number. The substantial terraforming of the 1900s then forever changed this landscape, leaving the swamp-based paperbarks ghosts of a time past.

Shipping is determined by your location and the size of your artwork. Once you place your order (will show as ‘pick up’), I’ll personally reach out to coordinate the pickup in Burleigh or best shipping option (a separate invoice for shipping will be provided).

Alternatively, contact me with your chosen artwork and shipping address, and I’ll invoice for the art and shipping together.
