Eucalyptus Painting

18” x 36” x 2.75”, Oil on Birch Panel with a Douglas Fir Cradled Frame Eucalyptus The Eucalyptus is one of the most fire adapted plant species. Eucalypt trees contain extensive epicormic buds which are protected beneath thick bark. This intelligent plant suppresses epicormic growth until fire creates the necessity for resprouting. After Australia’s frequent bushfires, Eucalyptus are one of the first to regenerate. The fresh shoots sprouting from the burned bark are the first hints of green, orange and pink to bring color and life to the charred landscape. With the "Ember" body of work, I explore fire in many forms: The duality of the destructive and restorative power of a wildfire; The intimate gathering around a bonfire that invites introspection and connection; The intense refining process of gold; Beauty and creation being born of fire as in diamonds and lava flow. Through this series, fire has become my personal emblem of transcendence.
