Open Every Sunday in November 10am - 4pm

"An Invitation to be Curious" to my 2022 collection

Once again the  studio will be open every Sunday in November.

The first Sunday is 6th November, the gates will roll open at 10am 

This year I will be showcasing my

​ 'Nalbarra Nuances' Series.

or the A to Z of 'Nalbarra Station' as I have named each piece from A to Z just to keep it interesting...
​

Nalbarra Station is just South of Mt Magnet in the Western Australian Murchison region.


The collection of works include beautiful wildflower landscapes, dreamy lakes, drying to 'Chocolate' parched clay red earth, birds, and station buildings.

My visit to Nalbarra Station in 2015 has inspired many of my artworks in the past seven years and it deserves to be highlighted as a must visit destination in outback Western Australia.
 
In the wildflower season it comes alive.
  
You turn left at the letterbox 60km south of Mt Magnet. 
 
You are greeted by Emus and their chicks on the long driveway in to the Homestead and shearers quarters where you can stay and even book in a meal and wake up to the mass paddocks of pink Calandrinia that greet the morning sun.

The days are full of adventure as you drive through the many vistas that the Station has to offer from scenic rocky outcrops surrounded by wildflowers, sun curled mud on the “Chocolate” lakes, the graveyards of the old station vehicles on the way to the old Windmills and water tanks.

​Take a picnic with you to enjoy wherever you fancy. 

 
The colours go on and on, pinks of the Calandrinia, yellows of the Masked Goodenia and creams, pinks, yellows and whites of the everlastings, yellows of the wattles and purples of the Mulla Mulla and so much more.
 
The wildlife is just waiting for you to discover from Racehorse goannas to the many migrating birds and the farm animals too, chickens, peacocks, goats and sheep.
 

​I started out painting a piece I titled “Afternoon Delight” then I painted a piece titled “Branching Out” then the next one was called “Chocolate Lake”…
 
All of a sudden I had set myself a challenge for this years’ Open Studio… so I went to work on the other 23 pieces to bring it all together.

OK, so I may not have painted all of them (only 19), the other 7 are my photos printed on Acrylic, Canvas, a Photobook and Cards plus maybe a sculpture or two and I may have got carried away and ended up with a few reserves as well, but it has come together to take you on a journey to our wonderful outback and hopefully inspire you to visit Nalbarra Station on your travels.
 
BTW if you have your pilots license you could always use their landing strip! 
 
 
I hope to see you on one of the four Sundays this November 10am - 4pm to enjoy a stroll through our amazing West Australian back yard, and ours too! 
 
Cheers,
 
Debra
