Shane Pickett: Meeyakba celebrates the artistic legacy of Shane Pickett, recognised as the foremost Nyoongar artist of his generation and a profound painter of the Western Australian landscape. The monograph provides a comprehensive survey of Pickett's oeuvre, spanning from his early landscapes to his later abstract works of remarkable grandeur.

Pickett's art captures the essence and transformations of Nyoongar country, depicting the landscapes of Australia's South-West in breathtaking and dynamic imagery. "Meeyakba" (meaning "soul" or "spirit" in the Nyoongar language) not only showcases Pickett's paintings but also amplifies his voice alongside contributions from his family and peers. These perspectives enrich the understanding of Pickett's artistic journey, contextualising his profound connection to land and culture.

The publication features essays by prominent figures including art historian Ian McLean, historian Anna Haebich, curator Henry F. Skerritt, and gallerist Diane Mossenson. Their writings provide critical insights into Pickett's artistic practice, exploring themes of landscape, identity, and the cultural significance of his work within the broader context of Australian art.
