My father, Michael, led me through the outside shed he'd filled with his paintings. “When I have an exhibition ...” he began, pointing to the artworks he'd created. Poor Pa, I thought.

In 1994 he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, which had shocked the whole family including my father as he was only in his forties. But after finding both the right doctor and medication, he'd been able to continue on as normal and so had our family—Parkinson's just wasn't something we spoke about.
But in 2019, Pa was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live. His health battles had started to have a bad effect on him and as he continued speaking about wanting to share his paintings with the world, I knew what had to be done.

“Pa, I'm going to organize an exhibition for you,” I said. By then he'd painted 660 works, so there was plenty to choose from! I hadn't done anything like this before, but when I was younger, Pa had always told me: “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later”. So I figured this philosophy (哲理) would guide me through.
And in October this year, we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”, my father's first public showing, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. Everyone loved his work and I was thrilled to see Pa had found the confidence to call himself an artist at last. His eyes lit up with pride seeing the walls filled with the works that had been kept in his shed for so long.
