🐾 The Dogs of Northam

Meet Nola, a Jack Russell × Blue Heeler.

Nola's name came about because her family bought a pianola around the same time they brought her home.

It is her owner's belief that Nola is only 49% dog, with the remaining 51% made up of an ever-changing combination of cat, kinkajou, anteater and several other unidentified species.

She has exactly one trick - which works about 50% of the time - and that's yawning on command.

Nola eats ants, climbs trees and kneads her blanket like a cat. She is wonderfully gentle with children and fiercely protective of human babies.

Many local families may already know Nola, as she often joins the young artists at AVAS Sketchbook Club. Over time she has become the group's unofficial wellbeing companion, quietly helping children feel calm, welcome and comfortable as they settle in and create.

Her best dog friend is Daisy who will also be featured in this artwork.

I've been overwhelmed (in the best possible way!) by the number of people who have shared photos of their dogs with me. Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with pics of your precious companions.

I'm still working my way through the photos, carving each dog by hand into a rubber stamp, and my collection is slowly growing. I thought it was time to start sharing some of the beautiful dogs that are becoming part of my piece for year's Northam Art Prize, along with a little about each of them.

The first print I'd like to share is... Dobbie. 🐾

This handsome old fellow is a 12½-year-old Staffy × with a heart as big as his zoomies once were.

Originally named Rocko, his family couldn't help but notice that as a puppy he looked just like Dobby the House Elf from Harry Potter. The nickname stuck, and before long he was simply Dobbie.

Dobbie believes he's one of the kids. Whether it's joining in with family activities, happily wearing a costume, or burrowing under the blankets at bedtime, he's happiest when he's right in the middle of whatever everyone else is doing.

Before finding his forever home at just six months old, Dobbie had already had six different owners. Since then, he's become a constant source of love, comfort and security, standing faithfully beside his family through life's joys and some incredibly difficult times.

It's dogs like Dobbie that remind us that family isn't always who we're born with, sometimes it's the ones who choose to stay.

🐾 Calling all Northam dog owners! 🐾

I'm looking for photos of dogs from the Shire of Northam for a special artwork I'm creating for this year's Northam Art Prize.

My vision is to hand-carve a collection of individual rubber stamps, each inspired by a local dog, and print them together into one large artwork celebrating the dogs that make our community so special. I've included a few examples showing the original dog photo next to the finished hand-carved print, so you can get an idea of what I'm creating.

If I use your dog's photo in the final artwork, I'll gift you a small print of your dog's individual stamp as a thank you. ❤️

What I'm looking for:
📸 A photo taken roughly at your dog's eye level.
🐕 The entire dog visible – please don't crop off legs, tails or ears.
✨ A photo that captures your dog's personality. There is no "perfect" pose – I'd love a variety of expressions, breeds, ages and characters.
📏 Please let me know your dog's approximate height (or shoulder height). I'll be carving the stamps in rough proportion to each dog's size, so a large dog may become a 20 cm stamp, while a tiny dog may only be around 5 cm.

For now, I'm focusing on dogs from the Shire of Northam, although I'd love to expand the project further in the future.

By sending me your photo, you're giving me permission to use it as a reference for this artwork. Please note that not every dog submitted will be included, as it will depend on the final composition of the piece.

Please pop your photos in the comments or send them to me via Messenger. I'd love to see your beautiful companions and hear a little about them too! 🐶💕

Just one week to go!
Prints are ordered, paintings are getting framed, after the weekend the space will start being set up.
If you haven't got your hands on a booklet, check out the website to download a digital copy.
Hope to see some visitors coming through to have a look at all our artists that have been brave enough to open up their studios 😊

Newest pastel off the easel. I've called this one 'Fresh Fill' and you can see it at the Killick Art Awards hosted by , at the and later in the year it will be heading to

My artists statement for this one is:

This work reflects the quiet, often unseen rhythms of life within the pastoral industry, where care is expressed through routine, and responsibility is grounded in meeting the basic needs of the animals. Here, cattle gather to drink from a freshly scrubbed trough, a simple but essential task during the heat of summer. Despite being minimally handled across large acreages, there is an unspoken trust in this moment as they approach the clean water as it refills.

Created in pastel over an ink background, the piece embraces contrast in both process and feeling. The looseness of the ink is allowed to remain visible in the sky and trough, echoing the fluidity and openness of the landscape, while the pastel brings forward the softness, presence, and individuality of the cattle. Through this balance, the work captures a fleeting, grounded moment where care, trust, and environment quietly intersect.

Come visit me over the June long weekend for the very first 🎨✨

🗓 30 May – 1 June
📍 Based at the Avon Valley Arts Society, Northam

I’ll be set up alongside a three fellow artists in the AVAS space as part of this brand new open studio trail through the Avon Valley. You’ll be able to see artworks in person, chat with artists, explore creative spaces, and make a whole weekend of it.

As one of the organisers, it’s honestly really exciting (and slightly surreal) to finally see this project come together 😊

I’ll have artworks on display, works in progress, prints, cards and probably paint/pastel on my clothes at some point during the weekend.

Come say hi, support regional artists, and explore the creativity happening across the Avon Valley 💛

Catch up post from last Wednesday, my first get back to painting in prep for the upcoming exhibitions and also our very first Arts Trail in the region

I snuck up to the top of Centenary Hill at the end of the day to catch the fading light and the many colours of this time of the season. Dry wheat stubble, freshly ploughed earth, greening paddocks and burn lines from last year's canola crop in the foreground. It was so dark by the time I finished I really had no idea of what I ended up with until I looked at it the next morning. Pleasantly surprised 😆

Yesterday's painting was at a friend's farm whose house site offers incredible views. Being up on a hill made getting the perspective a little tricky, I was looking down on the first paddock. The Salmon Gum in in the foreground was my main goal with all it's glowing bark, these trees are so beautiful.
