Discover Stunning Australian Tropical Paintings, Driftwood Sculpture, Drawings and Art Glass.

Searching for adventure? Stunning beauty? Tropical Paintings? Peace and tranquility in which to make art or to just think about it? A warm, tropical rainforest climate?

Many famous Australian painters on such a quest have gravitated to these northern shores since the early days of European settlement.





Often living in rough shacks, hastily thrown up on pristine beaches, beside waterfalls or hidden in the rainforest, they explored their vision with excitement, energy and dedication.

Since time immemorial, their predecessors, the Australian aborigines, have daubed their bodies and painted or carved images on rock faces in ceremonial, cultural rituals.

Aboriginal art history, through cave paintings and dreamtime stories, passed down through generations, informs contemporary arts practice in aboriginal communities across the continent. The resultant paintings, carvings and basketry are highly valued by discerning collectors today.





Being rather isolated and so far from southern cities, Tropical Australia (everywhere north of the Tropic of Capricorn) covers thousands of square kilometres from Broome in Western Australia through Darwin in the Northern Territory to Cairns in North Queensland. With its vast distances, 'laid-back' lifestyle and colourful 'characters' it retains something of a frontier atmosphere.





In North Queensland, the drama of crashing tropical thunder and downpours, amazing cloud formations, towering, jungle clad mountain ranges and tidal surges forms the backdrop for tropical paintings, art glass, drawings and sculpture, which have developed a distinctly regional flavour.





For examples of tropical paintings and other artforms being produced in Australia today, please see individual artists' pages or gallery pages.
