Very happy to have my painting ‘Frontline’ chosen as a semi-finalist for this excellent portrait prize. The painting depicts sisters Ange and Trish Kelly, both clinical nurses who worked together in the RMH Emergency dept during the Covid-19 crisis. I’ve portrayed them having just removed their hot and cumbersome PPE; the mask lines are deeply etched into their faces. These women and all frontline workers are absolute heroes and I’m glad that their faces and story are being seen by a wider audience.
