This aerial watercolor painting captures the essence of Adelaide’s Park Lands, a unique green belt surrounding the city.

These Nationally Heritage-listed lands, set aside nearly two centuries ago, embody the harmonious blend of urban growth and natural beauty. The artwork reflects the seamless union of Adelaide’s vibrant cityscape and the lush parklands, symbolizing the city’s commitment to preserving nature amidst progress.

The Park Lands, often referred to as the city’s green lungs, offer spaces for recreation, relaxation, and community events. They serve as both a visual delight and a vital resource for the people of Adelaide, fostering connection and well-being. This piece celebrates the legacy of Adelaide as a planned city encircled by nature—where modernity and greenery coexist.

Through this painting, I aim to honor the enduring importance of the Park Lands, highlighting their role in shaping Adelaide’s identity as a place where innovation and nature thrive together.
