“Where There’s Smoke…” celebrates fire fighters with glimpses of station life, drills, skills, and on-the-job moment. Why firefighters? You'll get a slightly different answer each time you ask me, but partially I'm painting to discover that reason myself. There's an element of storytelling in anything that involves risk, and I think that draws me in. I also wanted to acknowledge the less tangible fight that firefighters and first responders are faced with day to day.
As in last year, a portion of proceeds will be donated to IAFF foundation.
