ONE of Noosa’s very own award-winning artists has been chosen to join the panel of judges at the Melbourne Body Art Xpo 2014.
Maxine Stibbe, who has a working studio in Noosaville and holds life drawing classes, said she was excited to have been chosen to join such a prestigious body art festival.
Maxine, who has many national and local awards under her belt for her painting and art works, has previously appeared as a special effects and guest painter at the Australian Body Art Carnivale, Eumundi.
Maxine said she was looking forward to representing the Sunshine Coast at the Melbourne Body Art Xpo, where she would judge entries designed to represent the ‘Out of Ashes’ theme.
Artists are given six hours to paint their models, and includes categories such as airbrush, brush and sponge, special effects and a novice and fluorescent section.
The festival will be held on 16 August at Revolt, Kensington.
