Lost Limbs triptych #2

Lost limbs, , depictions of our beloved eucalyptus trees in Australia, a continuation of my obsession with these beautiful trees, and a metaphor for life as I find myself in middle age, contemplating life experiences. The lost limb, a symbol for grief and loss of friends and loved ones, loss of innocence, loss of youth

but also, most importantly, resilience, as life goes on, scars remain but the tree survives nevertheless.
Out of this grows wisdom and strength.

Lived in Austria, Germany, Japan and New Zealand before settling in Melbourne, Australia in 2001.

Career in the arts spanning 20 years, with exhibitions both nationally and internationally.

The paintings are informed by thorough research into the changing face of the landscape and the impact of climate change, introduction of weeds and non native fauna and flora.
The work focuses on the change in the environment - thus raising the question, how do we respond emotionally? how do we respond practically to these challenges?
It is this juxtaposition that the artist is most interested in, informed by psychology, politics, religion and science.
