Springs in the Desert

acrylic on canvas

Springs in the Desert depicts the water soakages of Central Australia—precious sources of water that sustain life in an arid landscape. These springs provide gathering places for birds, including finches that play and drink amongst the water's edge. The artwork celebrates the beauty, movement and vitality that water brings to Country, highlighting its importance as a source of life, connection and renewal in the desert. Inspired by Arrernte Country, the painting reflects the enduring relationship between people, animals and the natural environment.
