Mali Moir – WW1 Waler with Bradshaw 1915 – Charcoal
Our collective pride of the ledgendary Australian Light Horse is immense.
Austalia sent more than 120,000 horses overseas during the first world war, only one returned.
Walers began as a nickname for ‘New South Waler’s where horse breeding began by Early Settlers using several imported breeds.
The selective breeding program of our great Australian Waler had similar principles as Isaac Asimovs first law of robotics, ‘thou shall not harm a human’.
“This painting was inspired through the ABC radio interveiw by Richard Fiddler on Janet Lane and Ros Sexton’s quest to save the Waler.
The astonishing quality of Waler’s became apparent and my deep admiration and respect for both soldiers and horses was immediate.
During the drawing process of this artwork, I listened to over thirty hours on the history of WW1, I am sorry to say I was mostly unaware of the intensity and horror of this ‘war to end all wars’.”

Mali Moir – Epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)
Watercolour on 100% Cotton
1225 cm x 55 cm
$3900
The Epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) is a species of longtailed carpet shark, family Hemiscylliidae, found in shallow, tropical waters off Australia and New Guinea (and possibly elsewhere). The common name of this shark comes from the very large, white-margined black spot behind each pectoral fin, which are reminiscent of military epaulettes. A small species usually under 1 m (3.3 ft) long, the epaulette shark has a slender body with a short head and broad, paddle-shaped paired fins. The caudal peduncle (to which the tail fin is attached) comprises over half the shark’s length. Adults are light brown above, with scattered darker spots and indistinct saddles.
