Memoirs of Lightning Ridge There are places so unique they feel like a world unto themselves—Lightning Ridge is one of them. The landscape is a patchwork of mullocks, those rugged heaps of dirt and stone dug up in the relentless search for opal. They sprawl across the land, their presence shaping a terrain unlike any other. Beneath them, a labyrinth of tunnels, snakes in all directions, an underground network like a sprawling rabbit warren.

Among the mullocks, cacti thrive—bold, diverse, and bursting with life, some flaunting vibrant blossoms. Scattered across this rough terrain, you’ll likely find an old, rusted drum, standing as a silent witness to time. And then there’s the unmistakable roadside sign—ingeniously crafted from a car door—one of many quirky markers that define this extraordinary place.

Mission: I strive to express emotion in my artwork and hope it resonates with you too. I hope that it evokes a positive feeling of joyful peace and that it brightens up a special spot in your home. My style is a combination of looseness and detail, allowing watercolour to do its magic and then adding some detail bringing the subject to life.
