Title: Dr Ro Hill

The hard-edged and wired office is juxtaposed with the soft organic environment. The two environments illustrates Ro’s world.

Ro is the Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and an adjunct Associate Professor at James Cook University.
 Title: "The Ethnobotanist: Gerry Turpin at his Yidinji Homeland Barney Springs"
FINALIST 2018 Stanthorpe Portrait Prize. 
FIRST PRIZE for the exhibition, "Artists of the North" in Cairns, Australia. The painting was also featured at the 50th Anniversary celebration exhibition of Heinz Steinmann, who generously invited his artist friends to participate. A book is available for sale featuring all the artists' in the exhibition.
Title: Two Cardinals. I use portraiture to promote people who dedicate many voluntary years of their lives towards nature conservation. Dr Ray Pierce, a conservation scientist, relaxes between workdays on Rennell Island, SE of the Solomon Islands. In the background, the local village youths naughtily play games with a ‘borrowed’ boat on Lake Tengano. This fresh water lake is within East Rennell and is a part of a World Heritage protected area of 370 km2. It is the largest freshwater lake on atolls in the world covering 150 km2. 
The Cardinal Myzomela sings happily while perching on Ray’s footstool. All portray a scene that seems tranquil enough but not more than 20 kms away, the activities of Chinese loggers are logging the old growth rainforest of West Rennell, an area of 505 sq km.  Logging contributes sorely to the anthropocene era that we humans are presently a part. 
​The colour red relates to the two subjects being cardinal, while also suggesting a metaphor of spilt blood with the cutting of the rainforest. Price: $7360 Acrylic on Canvas 76x102cm Ready to hang!
 Annie Wonga at Home: ​Annie’s Aboriginal name is Murrai, which she states means the “unconditional love of dogs.” Since she did not have a dog at the time (only numerous cats), I added my own beautiful and large canine Ebony. She is sitting just in front of the giant fig tree in the distant background to emphasise the tree’s scale. Annie turned 60 years old when I completed the portrait in 2000. Read More: 
 The Dance Teacher: Olive Tau-Davis is from Papua New Guinea and lives in Cairns. When her children were growing up in Cairns, she wanted to connect them back to their roots in PNG and this she did by teaching them to dance. Soon, others joined in to her classes.  Her son and two daughters are depicted in the portrait. Olive has gone on to work with and help migrants settle in Cairns and Aboriginal People in remote areas of Queensland. 
My Favourite Things: ​This self-portrait continues a series that depicts the ethnic diversity of the North Queensland region. I found that I did not have enough time to find and enlist an appropriate subject for my next portrait due to my university studies so I chose myself. I am of an English/Polish background and 5th generation Australian. The title is self-explanatory; the room and objects in it, including the ridgeback Ebony, are some of my favourite things.
