Just sent off my entry for this important award being offered by

Working together, 100 x 120 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2011

Disaster-prone regions regroup to rebuild….

Gripped by the images on the television and YouTube of the devastation following the flooding across Queensland in early 2011, I felt great empathy for the people involved. It was hard to imagine what they were going through. I wanted to paint or visualize these communities pulling together to rebuild their lives in the aftermath.
