Reverend John Flynn OBE | Commissioned Portrait
My posthumous commissioned portrait of the inspirational Reverend John Flynn OBE, founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, honours a remarkable Australian whose vision transformed healthcare across the nation's remote outback.
Established in 1928, the Royal Flying Doctor Service pioneered the delivery of medical care to people living in some of Australia's most isolated communities. Recognised as the world's first comprehensive aerial medical service, it remains one of Australia's most significant humanitarian achievements.
The portrait was commissioned by Ryman Healthcare for its John Flynn retirement village in Burwood, Victoria, in recognition of Flynn's extraordinary legacy and contribution to Australian society.
My portrait is proudly displayed in the reception area of John Flynn Village, where it serves as a lasting tribute to a visionary Australian whose compassion and determination changed countless lives.
As an Australian portrait artist specialising in distinguished private and institutional portrait commissions, I consider it a privilege to create portraits that honour the lives, achievements and enduring legacies of significant individuals.
