About

Ross Potter is a Kamilaroi man and professional artist living in Walyalup / Fremantle. He works with pencil and paper to produce highly detailed, often large-scale representations of his subjects. Through magnifying microscopic features, Ross brings the abstractions of reality to our attention, while telling compelling stories of everyday life. One of his most well-known works is a life-sized drawing of Perth Zoo’s beloved elephant Tricia, which he created in the gallery during Fremantle Arts Centre’s hugely popular kids’ exhibition Animaze: Amazing Animals for Kids in 2018. Ross’ work has also been presented in numerous exhibitions and was shown in the Fremantle Biennale and at Boola Bardip WA Museum. Ross has works in numerous collections, and has undertaken multiple artist residencies including at Cossack, Margaret River and Herhùsid in Iceland.
