Cocoparra Orchids

"I have a personal interest in depicting Australia’s endemic and endangered botany in my work, so I connected with Eric Whiting, a local naturalist, to discuss Griffith’s unique ecosystem. He spoke to me about the unique species that have now been relegated to roadsides and small pockets around the region due to increased agricultural production. My work explores the relationship between the urban landscape and the fragility of endangered and rare varieties of spider orchids found in the Cocoparra Ranges including Caladenia Fitzgeraldii, Caladenia Tentaculata, and Caladenia Concinna. My hope is that viewers will be inspired by this mural to learn more about the indigenous flora existing in their backyard"
