A Generous Spirit- Portrait of Frank Ryan, charcoal
My portrait for the Warrnibald Portrait Prize at the Warrnambool Art Gallery 2021.
A celebration of people from our local community, I wanted to pay tribute to my dad for all his volunteering work.
" Contributing to his community and volunteering for numerous roles and organisations has been a priority and way of life for Frank Ryan. Always a smile and keen for a chat, a kind and generous soul working to help others.
For over 5o years, his many volunteer roles in the community have included:
St Vincent de Paul, St John of God Hospital, Panmure Fire Brigade ( inc captain 25 yrs & Ash Wednesday) , Panmure Football Club & UDV ( United Dairy Farmers Vic)
A Life of giving to others, all while maintaining his main priority: family, along with wife Mary, raising their ten children and running their dairy farm in Panmure."
