It is always fun to share my love of the natural world when teaching art on cruises, especially when there are wildlife experts on board! I love collaborating with ORCA on our journeys with Fred.

I shall forever be amazed and delighted at having received this Award from the Guild....it...

We are back home from an amazing cruise to the Azores and Iceland; teaching art workshops and whale watching with ORCA on board!   ORCA was involved in the planning of the cruise, suggesting the cruise followed the migration route of whales.  It was fun to liaise with the ORCA team who kindly supplied the artists in the art workshops with photos (to use as reference) from sightings on their trips, including on this cruise. They also came along to the workshops to see the artwork in progress and talk to us all about whales and dolphins. On the last full day at sea we held...

I was thrilled to see my latest article, about teaching art on a cruise ship, featured in Art + Framing Today magazine, published by the Fine Art Trade Guild.  Our cruise on Fred Olsen Cruise Lines MV Boudicca, to Iceland, Greenland and the Orkney Islands was truly magical.  As a wildlife artist it is wonderful to visit remote areas of the world; to experience the wonders of the natural world.Follow www.annecorlessartjourneys
