New completed mural project with Amok Island. Thanks to CANVA for commissioning this piece 💙
‘Koala’ Surry Hills, Sydney 2019
The early start of this year's fire season has already seen five million hectares of New South Wales bushland burned, compared to a total of 280 hectares in the entire fire season last year. Aside from nearly 1000 homes destroyed and 9 people killed, these unprecedented bush fires, fuelled by the effects of climate change, have wreaked havoc on Australia's wildlife.
An estimated 2000 koalas (which were already listed as vulnerable) have been killed. I came to Sydney prepared to paint an artwork of Flying Foxes on this wall, but because of the news and especially after seeing my first wild koala on my way to Sydney, I decided to change the subject. Thanks Canva who commissioned this mural for being supportive. And Thanks to Sherrie Wilson Projects for your hard work.
Canva has made a donation of $60.000 to the Rural Fire Service, who together with volunteers from all over the world, are fighting to contain the fires. If you want to help please donate to the RFS and urge Australia's politicians to take immediate action on climate change.
