Last night I was lucky enough to be invited along to the talented Fernanda Porto's exhibition opening at the Brazilian consulate. Fernanda was born in Rio de Janeiro but is currently calling Sydney Australia home. We are so glad to have her!

LUIZ & THE SEA STORY is a beautiful story which I won't do the same justice that Fernanda  does.
The story is about Luiz Baldi her Great Grandfather and his first contact with the sea. Luiz Baladi was a professional portrait photographer. In the summer of 1921 he lost his studio due to intense flooding.  He was a person who knew how to look on the bright side of life and learn from negative experiences.Fernanda has interpreted this tough situation as a chance for Luiz to get to know the sea and all its creatures.

Fernanda has studied  Graphic design at Billy Blue and went on to do her Masters  at COFA majoring in Printmaking.
We are happy to have her as a member of Hand to Hand!
