Uncontrolled and unpredictable fires are one of the most common forms of natural disaster in many parts of the globe including Australia and California. Whatever name they are given – wildfire, bush fire, wildland fire or rural fire – they often cause damage to property and loss of life as well as having major environmental impacts. The potential consequences can be severe including health impacts from smoke inhalation, destruction of property, water, and soil contamination as well as major impacts on flora and fauna. Climate change and other human activities such as land-use change and wildlife suppression are major contributions to an increase in wildfires.
I am a British contemporary fine artist creating powerful acrylic paintings inspired by the interaction of light, colour, and perspective in natural and urban landscapes. I am fascinated by nature enjoying woodland, fell and moorland walking which provide a wealth of inspiration for my painting. For me having the time to stop, look and fully appreciate all the wonders of nature –the wildlife, trees and flowers and the interaction of colours and light – is a remarkable gift. I regularly visit family in Italy and Australia both beautiful countries full of artistic inspiration – some of the most spectacular sunsets, landscapes, and seascapes you will see anywhere in the world. My primary medium is acrylics, and I am a member of the Altrincham Society of Artists and the Visual Artists Association. I sign my artwork Iannello, my mother’s maiden name in her memory.
