Book Celebrates Protecting Outer Banks, Even As Hurricane Earl Threatens

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Awareness of the fragile beauty of our coastal regions has never been more important. Since these areas are often threatened by both natural disasters--storms like Hurricane Earl--and human-made disasters, it is more important than ever that  we understand the history and culture of coastal communities.

Capital City Books is proud to announce the publication of The Quiet Voice of the Outer Banks, A Visual Journal, a collection of paintings by Christaphora Robeers that celebrates all facets of delicate and often endangered coastal life.  Please visit http://www.capitalcitybooks.com/quietvoice.php for more details and a preview of the book.

Robeers's stunning collection of paintings was inspired by the rich history of the Outer Banks, the resilient spirit of those who live there, and also her own memories of growing up in a small fishing village on the North Sea.

UPCOMING Book Signings and Exhibitions of Christaphora's work:

The Quiet Voice of the Outer Banks will be sold alongside Robeers's artwork at several gallery openings:
