They paint landscapes of the beloved West MacDonnell Ranges using diverse techniques and mediums. The centre is renowned for its scenic watercolour paintings on paper as well as its innovative projects including the 1950s landscape circle skirts installation and the permanent landscape mural in Alice Springs.
