Alexandra Kipourgos

 This morning I received something special from my friend, 

                  Alexandra Kipourgos

I first met Alexandra last year at an exhibition in Trentham when I was catching up with Mike Reed. Later Alexandra started following the Armchair Traveller on Facebook, but she still had not shown her hand. One day I chanced upon a few images from her gallery on Facebook and that led to me asking Alexandra to offer something for us in this new blog site.

In our new group blog I like to encourage members to offer work and to participate on their own terms. I'm already doing this with a number of members who have heard from me recently and I've asked them to say something about themselves and their work.

I've taken the following from Alexandra's web page:

"Alexandra was born in Greece. In 1972 her family migrated to Australia where she started cultivating her passion for figurative arts."

I won't go on quoting from this brief description given on her web page, suffice to say that Alexandra has created a huge body of work in different modes from B&W and Colour photography, Digital Artwork and Painting.

At this time Alexandra is busy with archiving and domestic activity, as per this note:

Hey Peter, 

I'm really trying to get my photos in order after my lightroom catalogue disaster and this is a very big job at the moment. 

It's spring here and there's lots of stuff to do around the garden... actually there is 800 m2 around the house that needs tending to... the rest, 2,400 m2 is pretty much left unattended. I am not really into gardening yet.

I will soon post some other examples of Alexandra's fine work.
