Commissioning ‘Because of Her We Can’

It was a pleasure and an honour to be given the opportunity to paint this story on domestic violence for DVConnect. I would like to commend DVConnect for the confronting work they perform and the empathy shown towards all that connect with the service, seeking change.

This painting represents all women and families impacted by the traumatising effects of domestic violence. The pink and white dots connecting represent a pathway being created for a life free from violence and fear. The pink flowers scattered throughout this piece represent women past and present that have been, and are still going through domestic violence.

The twelve circles symbolise DVConnect’s values and what the organisation stands for as they continue their work in combating domestic violence and creating awareness of the social impacts and implications.
