Mountain Country Art is a collective of artists living in close proximity to the Shire of Plantagenet in Western Australia’s great southern region. The area is a treasure that inspires their work.
To the south, the Porongurup Range is an ancient escarpment known for its rounded granite domes, rich biodiversity, karri forests and stunning trails. To the north lies the much younger Stirling Range with Bluff Knoll offering spectacular views and occasional snow during winter. The Stirling Range is recognised as one of the richest areas for flora in the world.
The region is rich in natural, indigenous and colonial history and the land whispers quiet secrets of abundance and beauty. These local artists share, through their art, a passion and genuine love for the land on which they live.
