The Arctic Circle
Sailing 10 degrees from the North Pole, Eubank joined The Arctic Circle, an expeditionary program that puts scientists and artists together to explore the High Arctic, on a 3-masted barquentine tall ship, The Antigua. As part of The Arctic Circle 2014 Autumn Expedition, she was one of 28 international artists, scientists, and educators selected to board a the historic tall ship that sailed around the international territory of Svalbard, an arctic archipelago, north of Norway and only 10 degrees latitude from the North Pole.
Danielle Eubank is creating a body of work from the expedition that explores the unique qualities of the light, water, and ice in the High Arctic. As an oil painter interested in examining the relationship between abstraction and realism, she is making a statement about the unifying preciousness of water by documenting it all over the world with her paintings. She is studying the lakes, glaciers, pools, ocean and ice-flows around the archipelago.
Thank You.
Thank you, the generous backers of this project who have donated time and money to help me get to the Arctic in order to paint the Arctic Ocean ~ Danielle

The Phoenician Ship Expedition
Greek Historian Herodotus tells us how, in 600 BC, Phoenician mariners achieved the first circumnavigation of Africa, a voyage into unknown waters previously considered too dangerous to attempt. The Phoenician Ship Expedition, conceived and captained by Philip Beale, researched archaeological data of the Phoenician era. A number of leading maritime archaeologists and historians were consulted to develop the design specification based on archaeological data from shipwrecks of this era (predominately the detail of Jules Verne 7 & M'agan Michael wrecks).
Danielle Eubank is the Expedition Artist on the Phoenicia, a replica 600 B.C.E. Phoenician vessel that sailed from Syria in the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, around Africa and back into the Mediterranean, completing the circumnavigation of Africa in November 2010 – in all 20,000 miles and over 2 years. She sailed aboard Phoenicia to London in June 2012, as part of the Phoenicia Exhibition that ran concurrently with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics. As a crew member aboard the ship, Eubank’s duties also included assisting the captain in official events in Syria, Mozambique, South Africa, Gibraltar, and Tunisia.
Thompson’s Gallery, in central London, hosted Eubank’s solo show in 2011 as Expedition Artist. Phoenicia will sail to the Americas soon.
The Borobudur Ship Expedition
Danielle was the Expedition Artist with The Borobudur Ship Expedition, an international expedition that sailed from Indonesia to Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, and culminating in Ghana. Officially launched by the President of Indonesia on August 15th, 2003, The Borobudur Ship made a journey of 10,000 miles finishing the expedition on 23 February 2004. The ship is a replica 8th century trading vessel, based on 5 stone relief carvings found at the largest Buddhist temple in the world, Borobudur, in central Java. The expedition was conceived by Briton Philip Beale, an aspiration originally concieved when Beale visited the Buddhist stupa in 1982.
In 2003 Eubank was invited to participate in the international Borobudur Ship Expedition. As Expedition Artist the body of work she produced during this expedition (over 100 paintings and photographs) was subsequently presented at a solo exhibition in central London. In addition to her role as Expedition Artist, she was the official advance liaison with legations in each country including the legations for Indonesia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the countries visited: Indonesia, Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, and Ghana.
