“Newborn” was created during a period of Covid-19 isolation. Not being with my daughter during her first childbirth, nor seeing my grandson was stressful and sad for us both. I have drawn and painted my daughter many times and the best outlet for my emotional situation on this occasion was through my art. I wanted to express humanity in its many complexities including sadness and strength.
It is on exhibit at the Royal Art Society NSW’s Thora Ungar Autumn exhibition until April 25.
