A bold and colourful statement piece from an artist who is passionate about our Australian landscape.

"I was in the studio on Friday 9 January 2026 and by the early afternoon it was a stinker, 42º and a foul northerly blowing hard, the hot breath of hell, a tempest randomly shifting course, the perfect storm, a recipe for disaster. The fire got out of Fogartys Gap north of Harcourt, jumped the highway and raced across the valley, whipping across grassy paddocks, through orchards, taking houses here, leaving sheds there. Stealing livelihoods, farms, stock - random, vicious, destructive. It got into town and into the forest on Leanganook, sacred La Larr Ba Gauwa – stones and mountain – she’s my muse, mother, companion, inspiration.

When the power went out at home I kept painting in the fetid soupy gloom and falling darkness, it was the least I could do, to bear witness, capture the moment. That painting began a series - Leanganook Rising - from the ashes and the rising of the sun."

As a painter, printmaker and photographer Michael draws inspiration from the landscape around his home on Djaara country in Castlemaine, Victoria. He has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and his work is included in public, corporate and private collections.
