Alex Toyne

I was fortunate to have grown up in remote Central Australia, and to have studied art in Alice Springs, places of powerful significance that got under my skin, into my blood, and filled my spirit. I pay homage to this through the medium of painting.
Having moved with my partner to Adelaide in 2010, I continue to feel the presence of Central Australia in my art, it is a large part of my identity. I have walked in country where the spirit soars and seen lands where all things are possible.
