Debby Mason - Marine Life Etchings

		My News
		March 2009 The new website didn't quite go to plan, other things took over and and things have moved on quite a bit since then. A new redesigned website/blog not sure which yet will be here shortlty. You can see a sneak preview by following the link below. I have been working for some time now on illustrating a cookbook called 'The Game Cook' written by Norman Tebbit it contains many new pictures of game birds and many recipes. It is due for launch around July 2009. There will be some sample pages of 'The Game Cook' available on my website and possible on Norman Tebit's website at www.normantebbit.co.uk (but it's not live yet). Nov 2006 I will shortly have a new site up and running. I now have an Exhibitions Gallery the style of which reflect the new website. Nov 2005 I am just setting up a new site which will be here very soon! - Here is a sample page of some of my new work - Click HERE February 2004 I am hoping to be at 'Printfest' in Ulverston, Cumbria on 14th, 15th & 16th May which is well worth a visit. January 2004 I still have my Exhibition at the London Zoo Aquarium & it is continuing to raise funds for 'Project Seahorse'. I am now working towards a solo exhibition entitled 'A Drop in the Ocean' at the National Marine Aquarium in November of this year. New work will include a selection of Cephalopods and a much requested subject 'Leafy Sea Dragons'! May 2003 I will be at 'Printfest' in Ulverston, Cumbria on Friday 9th, Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May. March 2003 Apologies for not keeping this site up to date as much as i would have liked! Updates to this site are now in progress and will hopefully be completed for the middle of March. January 2003 I have had an unsettled year and 2002 saw very little in the way of new work, however I have many new ideas and am currently working on a large etching of flying fish.Some of the inspiration of my new work will be based around my experiences in the West Indies which I was fortunate enough to visit in December of last year. I was part of the crew sailing a square rigger with disabled and able bodied people with the Jubilee Sailing Trust. The voyage was amazing , the weather fantastic and I made many new friends. Other ideas which I have include some larger etchings and more crustaceans. April 2002 'Tiger-Tails & Dancing Dragons' is now on display indefinitely at the London Zoo Aquarium. A percentage of all sales will continue to support the work being carried out by 'Project Seahorse'. March 2002 The exhibition at the 'Aquarium Finisterrae' in La Coruna, Spain, 'Caballitos en la mar' has officially opened on the 15th March and will run for one year in collaboration with The National Marine Aquarium, Plymouth. Amongst many seahorse related exhibits it also contains 39 of my seahorse etchings. A small exhibition of seahorse etchings is on show at the Gallery Cafe at The Devon Guild of Craftsmen, Bovey Tracey, Devon. December 2001 Over December I will be updating this site with the images of the new prints that have been exhibited over the last few months. November 2001 A big thank you to everybody that purchased prints at the London Zoo Aquarium, over £2500 pounds have been raised for Project Seahorse so far, and there are now talks of the possibility of having a permanent exhibition on display. An Exhibition at the 'Aquarium Finisterrae' in La Coruna, Spain, 'Caballitos en la mar' (ponies in the sea!) which was scheduled for this November, will now be opening in March 2002, more details to follow nearer the time. The Aquarium, which has recently been built is one of the largest in Europe. October 2001 The 'Project Seahorse' Exhibition has been extended until the 12th December. September 2001 26th September to 19th October - 'Big Bellied Seahorses & other Fishy Creatures' an exhibition of over seventy of my prints will be on display at the London Zoo Aquarium. A percentage of all sales help contribute towards supporting the outstanding work currently being carried out by 'Project Seahorse'.
