About the Author

Roger Swainston is one of the foremost marine-life artists in the world, with more than 25 years of artistic and scientific endeavour. His paintings are renowned around the world for their accuracy and vibrancy.After training as a zoologist at the University of Western Australia, Swainston spent several years in the Department of Ichthyology at the Western Australian Museum, working on the taxonomy of fishes and the re-cataloguing of the museum's extensive collection of specimens.

In the ensuing years he has taken part in scientific surveys of a wide range of environments: from the deep waters off the North West Shelf to the inshore waters of the southern coast of Australia and the coral reefs of Papua New Guinea. As expedition artist with a team of international scientists, he spent two months surveying the fish life of the remote Clipperton Atoll in the far eastern Pacific. Later he worked with the Natural History Museum of Paris and Pro-Natura International, portraying the biodiversity of the marine environments and freshwater streams of Vanuatu. More recently he has accompanied scientists surveying the biodiversity of northern Mozambique and Madagascar.

Swainston has dived, snorkelled and painted fishes right around the coast of Australia and in many other locations worldwide, including the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Caribbean, and areas throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans. For many years he has closely monitored a number of sites on Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia, spending countless hours under water drawing the reefs and observing and photographing fishes to produce panoramic scenes of the environments. He has also worked extensively with professional fishers around Australia, studying their catches and fishing methods.

His work has been included in many well known field guides to fishes, including Sea Fishes of Southern Australia, Marine Fishes of North western Australia, Reef Fishes of New Guinea, Freshwater Fishes of New Guinea and Fishes ofthe Eastern Pacific. He has also illustrated major scientific works, such as Sharks and Rays of Australia and guides to the Emperors and Snappers of the world, as well as contributing illustrations to numerous other publications. His artworks have been used by numerous scientific institutions, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and the Natural History Museum of Paris, as well as many government environmental and fisheries agencies both in Australia and abroad.

Swainston has held solo exhibitions in Sydney and Fremantle, and in France. His paintings are held by private collectors around the world, and by institutions including the Ministry of the Environment and the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaire in France, the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, the National Archives of Australia, and the Western Australian Museum. Several documentaries about his underwater work in the Red Sea and on Ningaloo Reef have been widely broadcast internationally.Roger Swainston presently lives and works in Fremantle, Western Australia, with his partner Catherine and their three children.

Incredibly hydrating but unbearable scent.
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love all Avène skin barrier creams, recovery lotions and i just purchased this "Hydrance" cream. Texture is nice, it's unbelievably hydrating but the scent is overwhelming. It caused me a headache. So I decided to return it. Then I thought I'll give it another try and Oh my.... For the love of God, remove that awful scent. The reason I love Avène product is because theyre unscented, except this one I guess :/

Extremely versatile and strong. Worth the price!
These organizers were great for getting the oh so many items that were laying all over the place in my garage securely organized. I love them. They are super strong and extremely versatile~ There are many attachment points so no way they are going to fall off the wall. they hold strongly! Solid metal with a durable finish that I and sure will last the test of time. The hooks are easy to attach and reposition when need be and they stay firmly in place. With the many similar racks available- I’m very happy I chose this set. Well worth the money.

So far so good. I wound up putting sand and water in it. It’s been stable. We’ll see how the finish holds up.

As I expected,My garage said goodbye to the clutter and my tools are hanging in order.
My garage is clean all of a sudden! I don't want my garage to be cluttered because it makes me irritable. I like that the hooks are divided into upper and lower levels, which makes it easy for me to take out what I want. And the hooks are easy to remove, which makes it easy for me to change the placement of the hooks, and now my tools are set up the way I want them, which is perfect. Finally, the tool rack is suitable for a straight line across the placement, not up and down, which is too waste of space.
