The Girl Alone Series

 This is the Girl Alone series of paintings from the 2010 Recollections Exhibition, held at Yering Station Gallery, Yarra Glen.
Quotation from the 2010 pamphlet for the exhibition.

"This series is inspired by Frederick McCubbins's 'Lost' 1886 Heidelberg School. However my child is not a victim she overcomes adversity and survives. There is also an interweaving of Red Riding Hood here. In the more archaic versions of the tale 'Red' survives by her wits, no hero comes to the rescue. In the recent fire children were lost and children survived, the last painting in the series 'Afterwards' is about the joy of being alive."
