From the ‘Losing My Place’ exhibition, Out Woop-Woop, Western District, was inspired by memories of driving to a vast sheep property out the back of beyond in the Western District to collect an enchanting spotted border collie puppy we named Joey, and who stole our hearts for the next 15 years.

'Losing My Place’ is series of small oil paintings that recalls memories of the places I love and longed to visit again while Melbourne was separated from regional Victoria by a ‘Ring of Steel’ in 2020. It is inspired by fleeting moments from picnic outings, country drives, holidays and day trips recalled from a lifetime of experiences in the Victorian countryside. These small works created a tiny lens to explore the spaciousness, glowing light and energetic hum of the Victorian landscape.
