SPOTLIGHT ON NOLA ROGERS & DOROTHY FORREST: Artworks From the Bungalow

Short St Gallery welcomes you to the vibrant worlds of Dorothy Forrest and Nola Rogers, two celebrated artists who hail from Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia. Their paintings invite viewers into richly imagined landscapes where Country is alive with movement, memory and colour. Through wild compositions and an intuitive sense of form, each artist transforms lived experience into works that are deeply personal and universally captivating. These paintings are more than depictions of place, they are joyful expressions of connection to Country, culture and the enduring stories that shape the Kimberley.

Nola Rogers' paintings are remarkable for their extraordinary use of saturated colour, where luminous layers of paint create landscapes that seem to shimmer with life, drawing viewers into scenes filled with warmth and atmosphere. Also working with a strong sense of colour, Dorothy Forrest fills her canvases with an enchanting cast of native animals and flourishing flora. She depicts the abundant life of billabongs and waterways which emerge in her paintings through playful forms and vibrant palettes, celebrating the unique ecology of the Fitzroy Valley.

Together, Nola and Dorothy's works offer an immersive journey into a wild and wonderful world of colour, nature and storytelling. Price list requests through enquiries@shortstgallery.com or our website.
