Artist statement
COOPER CREEK CAMP
A billabong running off the Darling River is a perfect place to paint, surrounded by curious bird life and raw nature demanding your attention. Trevor is drawn to the texture, colour and spiritual energies of this iconic place near Menindee Lakes. He has painted this area many times and is always inspired by the endless variety of it’s landscapes.
