In addition to her studio practice, Ms. Eubank is an expedition artist. She sailed aboard the barquentine tall ship The Antigua, on an art and science expedition to the High Arctic in Autumn 2014.

She 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. 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. Thompson’s Gallery, in central London, hosted Eubank’s solo show as Expedition Artist. Phoenicia will sail to the Americas in 2016.

In 2004 Eubank was invited to participate in the international Borobudur Ship Expedition. As Expedition Artist, she traveled 10,000 miles with the replica 8th century Indonesian wooden boat from Indonesia to Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, and Ghana, painting and drawing. The boat was of a design based on stone relief carvings found on the ancient Buddhist temple at Borobudur on the island of Java and was officially launched by the President of Indonesia. The body of work she produced during this voyage (over 100 paintings and photographs) was subsequently presented at a solo exhibition in central London.

In 2005, Eubank was an artist-in-residence in Bali for 3 months. Based in Ubud, a center of traditional arts, she created a body of work that explores the relationship between figurative and abstract themes while celebrating the Balinesian culture, seascape and artistic heritage of the island.
