The Australian Bushfire Appeal Print Sale was an initiative organised by myself to raise much needed funds to support those impacted by the bushfires that ravaged Australia in early 2020.

Over 60 artists and photographic institutes from Australia and around the world donated prints and other works to the cause. As a result, we raised over $26,000 for the Country Fire Authority Victoria and the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities.

The appeal could not have taken place without the help of some key contributors. These include the team of volunteers, Eloise Coomber, Jake Nemirovsky, Ted Min, Chaoyang Liu, Portia Sarris and Patrick Riley; the supportive help of Kelly Hussey-Smith, Isabella Capezio, Alan Hill, Ray Cook and Gabriel Nilsen; and the sponsorship of RMIT School of Arts, Michael's Camera and Canson Infinity.

Finally, all of the artists and institutions who donated works:
