I feel a special connection to the Adelaide Park Lands when I visit the Botanic Garden.

The beauty of the reflections on the water’s surface at the Kainka Wirra Lake, the ducks, and the landscape inspired me to paint this scene.

I hope my painting inspires other people to visit the Park Lands, to enjoy the calm beauty and serenity, right in the middle of the city.

The Park Lands are vital to the people of Adelaide, for connecting with friends and family, physical activity, and relaxing and enjoying nature.

The city can sometimes feel overwhelming and inaccessible with constant traffic, noise and intensity, especially for children and young people.

The Park Lands provide a peaceful and safe place, where people can experience the mental and physical health benefits of spending time in nature.
