Artist Donald James Waters with his artwork to be auctioned.<\/p><\/div>\n

A series of military-themed artworks, created by a renowned contemporary Gold Coast artist 30 years ago, and thought lost in a storage fire, will be auctioned by the RBWH Foundation at its annual Military Dinner to raise money for exemplary patient care initiatives and medical research.<\/h4>\n

The Military dinner on Friday 6 October, celebrates the power of collaboration between Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) and Australian Defence Force (ADF) and is open to anyone with an interest in military health and medical research.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 150 years, RBWH and ADF have worked together to achieve life-saving research and patient care which translates from hospital to the battlefield,\u201d said the RBWH Foundation CEO Simone Garske.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir knowledge-sharing has an extraordinary impact on the lives of servicemen and women, now and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

A highlight of the evening will be the artwork auction, featuring 12 prints by contemporary Australian artist Donald James Waters. The original oil paintings were commissioned in 1993 for a Legacy Brisbane calendar and exhibited at Canberra\u2019s Parliament House.<\/p>\n

The Jacobs Well artist said the paintings and a large number of prints were lost in a storage fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see this set coming out now and being put up for auction was d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu<\/em>, I was stepping back 30 years,\u201d said Mr Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want accolades, I am just happy to see the money going to helping great causes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The online auction is now open<\/a> and it is hoped the series could remain intact, given the interest in their discovery.<\/p>\n

RBWH cancer patient Mick Ward donated the prints to the Foundation in gratitude for treatment that has extended his life expectancy. Mick was gifted the prints almost 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Australian doctors gave me 12-16 weeks to live in 2007 so I moved up to be with my son in Brisbane, but RBWH doctors had other ideas,\u201d said Mick Ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still alive and going to last another ten years, I tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Garske said it was fitting that artwork created to raise awareness of Australia\u2019s military past and to raise funds for military families, was again supporting a cause with close ties to ADF.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone loves a great mystery and this rates highly,\u201d said Ms Garske.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese artworks were created with passion to commemorate our military history, and will once again raise funds, this time to advance patient care and life-saving research, such as RBWH research with military applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
