I traveled to Oak Dam, about an hour out of Roxby Downs to perform a live painting on Country for BHP. You can watch the full journey in 3 parts on Youtube below or read the story and meaning behind "Desert Memory" here.
Bring the energy of Presten’s creative process directly to your organisation or event. Live painting offers a powerful way for audiences to connect with Aboriginal culture, witness an artwork unfold in real time, and engage with storytelling in a meaningful and memorable way.
Whether it’s for NAIDOC Week, a corporate launch, a community celebration or an internal event, Presten delivers a culturally rich and visually captivating experience tailored to your organisation.
A live painting session can be customised to suit your event and may include:
Creation of a brand-new artwork on site
Cultural storytelling woven through the visual process
Artwork themes based on your organisation’s values, journey or Country
The entire painting process filmed and provided to your organisation for future use (optional)
Delivery of the completed artwork for display after the event
Optional custom plaque with artwork title, story and meaning
Each piece is created using high-quality materials and is designed to reflect the purpose of your event while honouring Aboriginal culture.
Cultural Enrichment - Presten shares meaningful stories and symbols through his work, helping audiences deepen their understanding of Aboriginal culture.
Audience Engagement - Watching an artwork come to life firsthand creates an immersive and unforgettable experience for guests, staff and community members.
Professional Delivery - With national experience across corporate, government and community sectors, Presten provides a seamless, culturally respectful and high-quality service.
A Lasting Legacy - The artwork created during your event becomes a permanent piece for your organisation — a reminder of your commitment to culture, reconciliation and community.
If your organisation is planning an event and would like to include a live painting experience, please get in touch.
I acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians of the land we live and work on. I extend my respects to Elders, both past, present and emerging; and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
