My painting of The Wallace Line shows the imaginary biogeographical boundary that separates Asia and Australia.

  • Digital file for you to make a single print at a format and size of your choice
  • I have greetings cards of this painting.

The line is named after naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace who during his travels through the Indonesian archipelago in the mid 19th century, first observed that to the west of the island of Lombok only Asiatic species occur and that to the east of Bali is a mixture of Asiatic and Australian species.

The painting features some of the creatures that Wallace collected on his travels, including a huge atlas moth and a black-browed barbet (the green bird on the top left), a specimen which Wallace collected I saw on display at the Natural History Museum in Tring.

I can’t tell you how much fun it has been to express my fascination for biogeography and my admiration for Wallace in bright bold colours.
