Commission work

As we welcome Mental Health week I thought I’d shine a light on this project I painted a little over a year ago for a wonderful lady I met through Central school. Dorothy Crosby, a SIDS & Kids worker and on site councillor at ACSA is just the loveliest of people. She helped me out with whatever mental blocks I was experiencing during honours year and the time spent with her was invaluable.
She was full of stories for the significance of this sunflower. The use of bright colours affecting our mood also struck a chord with me. I'd just started managing work full time, so painting time was scarce, but Dorothy was ever so understanding throughout the painting process.
I can only imagine how many other lives she’s touched in her line of work, what a gift it was to be able to do something in return.
