Artwork Description

Shadows of the West was inspired by a photo I captured near Hay in the western plains of New South Wales. There was something about that moment—the golden light, the rugged workshirt, and the way it all came together to quietly tell a story of life out here.

This piece embodies a lifestyle I can’t help but admire: one of hard work, simplicity, and connection to the land. My goal was to take that feeling and turn it into something timeless—a painting that carries the warmth, strength, and calm of the western plains straight into your space.

Whether it’s a bright white wall or a rich, moody backdrop, Shadows of the West knows how to hold its ground while inviting you into its story.

All of my original art and art reprints are signed with an ‘S’ logo. This logo was the Storey family brand used by my Great-Grandfather, on what is now my Grandparent's cattle farm. The farm has been in the Storey name since the mid-19th century however the brand was only in use from roughly the 1930s to the 1960s on sheep. After shearing, the brand was dipped in dye and pressed to the sheep’s hind quarter. It would stain the wool for quite some time and be used to identify the sheep if they strayed.

I have immense pride in my origin, and I love that I am able to attach a piece of family history to the art that I create. I strongly believe that when purchasing art, it is incredibly important to feel a strong sense of passion from the artist through the painting. I hope that combining my lineage with my art expresses this connection.
