Artwork Story
Rusty made prints and did some painting while working for Waringarri Arts in the 1990s. He moved to Crocodile Hole when Freddie Timms based the Jirrawun Aboriginal Arts group there in 1997 and began to paint on canvas.
His detailed knowledge of the land and stories from Springvale and neighbouring Moola Boola stations is reflected in distinctive paintings in traditional red and yellow ochres and black charcoal. While recognisably part of the ‘Warmun’ style the intricate curves mapping Country and the dark caves and rivers in his pictures are particular to Rusty’s work.
After the closure of Jirrawun Art in 2010 Rusty Peters returned to paint with Warmun Art Centre.
