NATALIE VEAL WITH CONSULTATION FROM JOE NORTHOVER AND JAMES KAHN, BLACK DIAMOND, 2021

Location: Suspension Bridge, Cnr Flora Road and Scenic Drive, Collie State Forest

The bridge’s concrete footings feature a mural which depicts local plants and animals and a geometric pattern that represents the natural and cultural connections that exist in this ancient landscape. The blue lines represent the above-ground water table, while the thick white lines are the dividing lines between the different Wilman tribes.

About the artist:

Born in 1967, Natalie considers at least 50 years of her life to have been filled extraordinarily with art in some form, drawing and painting on everything with anything from a very young age. Natalie drew her first lifelike portrait of her Great-Grandfather at the age of eleven, and painted her first portrait in oils of little sister Chantelle not long after. Throughout Natalie’s life, art has been a comfort, an inspiration, a communicator and a wonderful form of expression.
