Jaelle Pedroli

Jaelle’s landscape artworks came to being after exploring the beautiful but rugged landscape of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Perth Swan River) riverside.

The contrast between water, cliff-face, and bush unique to her local area is a visually stimulating scene. Spending time in her local natural surroundings has given Jaelle a greater sense of belonging and her own connection ‘to place’.

It has also strengthened her appreciation for the history of the area and what it has meant to the people who visited this land before her. Blackwall Reach or Jenalup, as it’s known, by our First Nations people was a place for women and children to learn life skills.

The name comes from the words Jenna Biddi Yorga “women’s feet walking on the path”, in Whadjuk Noongar. Jaelle finds symbology in this as she journeys on her own spiritual path.
