Dr Ro Hill - FINALIST- Percival Portrait Prize and the Stanthorpe Art Prize 2020

In this portrait of Ro, the hard-edged and wired office is juxtaposed with the soft organic environment. The melding of the two environments illustrate that one needs the other in Ro’s world. Ro is passionate about academic writing because, as she states, ‘I was blessed with a good brain and I want to use it for the betterment of people and the environment.’ The crochet bee earrings represent the demise of bees and other insects that are essential for the reproduction of flora as well as food for many birds and lizards.
Beginning in the 1970s, Ro was influenced by “the flowering of scientists like the Ehrlichs’ and the Meadows’ who wrote books like The Population Bomb and The Limits to Growth respectively.” These books influenced her to join other activists to form part of the blockade to stop the logging of the Daintree Rainforest in North Queensland. This action was perhaps a two-edged sword as it did secure protection for the Daintree, but it also made it world famous and a destination for eco-tourism.
A mother of two girls, Ro continues to work beyond her retirement age as a researcher as well as a volunteer who has already spent thousands of hours throughout her life for numerous conservation actions.
This portrait is a part of my series highlighting conservation ecologists who volunteer in Queensland, nationally and internationally.
