Natalie Pula Holmes is part of an exciting new generation of young painters who view life and landscape with a very different perspective to that of the senior generation. Natalie was taught to paint by her mother, Marilyn Brown when they lived in Tennant Creek, NT.

Natalie's work is inspired by the semi-arid country in which she lives. The shimmering ochre coloured landscape and desert birdlifelife was a source of inspiration for this painting. She uses the gutta instrument for the application of a veil of white over exhuberant bursts of colour which emerge from beneath.
