  • Landscape painting of Goolugatup Heathcote by Western Australian artist Jaelle Pedroli

    With the sound of water.

    Pedroli often orientates her images inland from the Swan River, toward these spectacular vistas. Her landscapes—such as Looking Place, Nurture, and The Nature of Daylight—wriggle with life. It is a liveliness that is drawn from the wellspring of Pedroli’s subject. Paint is stained, scumbled, and pulled across the surface to form the intriguing abstractions of sheer cliff faces and vibrant shrubbery. In The Nature of Daylight, dry olive greens and dusty ochres writhe into the familiar imagery of Goolugatup Heathcote’s shores.
