Xanthe's art was featured in the Cairns Post
For two weeks the HUGs Art Gallery in Cairns played host to an exhibition of my underwater images. Radio and press interviews, opening nights and a steady stream of visitors kept me very busy during the exhibition, which ran for ten days. I must say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who visited the exhibition, it is always great to have feedback on your work! To read some of the feedback and see images from opening night visit my main ‘News‘ page. A special thanks to those who have given me feedback on where they have placed the images in their homes and offices and the comments they have received on them. The exhibition was a really special experience and I was lucky to have a fantastic support team.
The online store is slowly taking shape and I have rushed a few items that people have been really asking for – the ice mounted blocks, the 2011 desktop calendar and the gift cards. These are available for purchase and if you have any questions or feedback on the layout of the new store I would love to hear it!
Following the exhibition, I was able to get one day of Great Barrier Reef photography in before heading off on expedition to the Coral Sea for ten days. This was a preliminary expedition ahead of a major expedition in January so further details will be coming in the new year! Visiting the Coral Sea is always special, and this was no different. Every journey out there further convinces me of the need to protect it and I have just placed the online petition on this blog, so please add your voice.
The online underwater photography courses are starting to come together. Stay in touch as there will be a special offer along with the launch in December, just before Christmas. Gift certificates will be available.
