About Artwork:
Mt Roland is iconic to me - She is a beautiful Tasmanian landmark located on the North-West Coast of Tasmania ( near Devonport ) where I grew up.
I love looking at her especially when capped with snow or a beautiful sunrise / sunset.
She's been a part of my life since I was a lil tacker and still captivates me every time we drive past ( which is often ) - So I needed to paint her - She reminds me of Tassie and I love Tassie!
