Low Isles artworks shown here are mostly for sale.

The Port Douglas exhibition was a great success and now a selection of these Low Isles artworks will tour to Cairns Regional Gallery.

The opening of the Cairns Regional Gallery exhibition will be on February 2, 2008. The exhibition will run for five weeks, so if you are planning to be in the area, do drop in to view the work and to maybe learn a little about this tiny speck in the Pacific Ocean, an hour's sail from the small resort town of Port Douglas.
