We wish you all a new year full of inspiration and creativity! Starting the year with many challenges still on our plate, we look forward to celebrating victories and renewing our hopes for a brighter future. The support from our local community and online patrons has been incredible and heartwarming and we are consistently delighted with the response from our visitors to the gallery.
There will undoubtedly be some changes for the coming year and one of them is that Thiago Ramirez has stepped down as co-owner of Catching Stars, but the good news is that he will stay on as a partner and his vibrant photographic prints will continue to be available to add to your collection. We will miss his many contributions behind the scenes of the gallery’s operation and we wish him the best in his exciting endeavours. We will be eagerly following his incredible projects and crazy adventures!
