Trackside Studio

The variation of light on land and the built environment has been a constant theme in Heather’s work, with a special interest in watercolour and its ability to capture the moment of a shifting pattern of light. This series focuses on domestic scenes at Trackside Studio. Using mixed media – acrylic, pastel, various markers and charcoal – Des has created landscapes of poetic beauty “black earth banks, whispers, darkness, stone pools, dense wild olives trees along banks, soaring gum trees, a shaft of sunlight wobbling down, making luminous dots”.
