Tributes to Dad by Debbie Walter
Six years ago I set out on a PhD journey, with a focus on promoting a "life is short -Carpe diem" attitude to life. In a twist of fate, my Dad became unwell halfway through my studies. To help process, I started a portrait of him. One tribute portrait led to another fifteen paintings. That personal journey ended up being weaved into my exegesis, along with a body of work in honour of Dad's passing, and capturing some of his story of battling dementia. Tributes to Dad is an exhibition that compassionately captures grief, making it both moving and relatable to all.
