RedAlert is an abstract interpretation of 2003 Canberra firestorm event. The intense conditions within the fire created its own weather system that led to fire tornados. Most of the imagery is self-explanatory however the dripping paint is symbolic to tears due to the huge loss of life and property.

BUSHFIRE COLLECTION:
Australians have always known the threat of bushfires and we have a history of horror and destruction caused by fire. Two recent fires however had a direct impact on my family. The Canberra fire in 2003 and the Black Summer 2019-2020 were both devastating. The Black Summer bushfires threatened 3 family members in 3 different regions of NSW. The fear and anguish I felt about these fires prompted me to paint this body of work. Part healing, part warning.
