Anita Phillips
Painting
My work for “Tread Softly” is inspired by my experience of the gentler moments of the Pilbara landscape. While the Pilbara is known for its extremes of heat and harshness, I wanted to share these slower and softer parts of the whole. Through these works, I am to share the serenity and subtle resilience of this landscape, inviting the viewer to appreciate the delicate balance and profound peace that can be found in even the most rugged terrains.
