ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Cynthia House is an Australian artist living in Queensland. In Australia’s Black Summer of 2019-2020, 1 billion animals perished and 30,000,000 hectares were destroyed. The growing intensity and frequency of fires in Australia serves as a disturbing reminder of global warming. Cynthia was deeply affected by the sight of devastation on this scale. She said “it was heart wrenching and I will forever be affected by what has been lost in my country.”

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Cynthia House is an artist who grew up on a remote sheep and wheat property in rural Australia. Painting primarily in acrylic, a medium that allows her the broadest range of experimentation, she has shaped an artistic course with a conscious decision to never limit her artistic vision and to always paint stories that excite the imagination. Her love of the natural world began as a child, developing into a deep concern for the many at risk and endangered species that inspire her creativity. Cynthia still lives in Queensland, Australia today.
