Inspired by Broome

Admire artworks with a deep connection to the land at Black Stump Gallery.

Black Stump Gallery brings a wave of creativity to Broome and the Kimberley through contemporary collections of locally inspired artworks. Owners Emma Blyth and her husband Simon are passionate about the Kimberley, frequently taking time out to explore the region.

Having exhibited Emma’s own artwork in various galleries and pop up shops, as well as undertaking artist residencies at Cable Beach Club over the course of those years, they’ve been dreaming of owning their own gallery in Broome for some time. That dream is now a reality, with the duo extremely proud to have their own space, which not only showcases their own exquisite and contemporary works but also exhibits the impressive artworks of other local artists.

“We first headed up north on a camping trip in our old ute back in 2001 and could not stay away,” says Emma.

“I was absolutely blown away on that initial trip travelling the Gibb River Road and up to Mitchell Falls and Kalumburu. The remoteness and striking landscapes really were the most amazing experiences.

“The roads were pretty rough in the old Landcruiser! Camping under the stars with nothing but a mozzie net and a mattress and an old barbie grate to cook on. It was simple, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Whistling kites hovering in the smoke of our campfire, catching my first ‘Barra’ and cooking it on the coals whilst watching the full moon rise above the range. It was a trip of a lifetime and we still head out bush as often as possible.”

Located in Old Broome, Black Stump exhibits a wide range of works in various media and locally inspired Australian made art, jewellery, and gifts.

The original artworks exhibited at Black Stump are unique and characterised by a deep connection to the land and its natural beauty. The gallery brings together select artists who showcase their own interpretation of this captivating region of Australia.

“Black Stump products will always be made in Australia,” says Emma. “Proudly, this helps support local businesses and also reduces our carbon footprint.”
