ABOUT DEBORAH

My Creative Process

Nature's splendour is the driving force behind my artwork. Nestled near the coast, I'm immersed in a world of stunning landscapes that fuel my creativity. Daily walks become a meditative practice, as I absorb the intricate details of rocks, shells, the ever-changing sky, charming boats, vibrant buoys, and the lush flora of the countryside. The ever-shifting seasons and weather provide a constant source of inspiration.

My artistic style is an evolving journey of exploration. As a mixed media painter, I embrace various elements such as collage and texture to create depth in my work. My non-representational pieces convey moments and emotions through an intuitive approach. I craft compositions instinctively, layering textures with an array of brushes and tools, resulting in unique marks and details, along with a harmonious colour palette.

My paintings strive to capture and share the awe-inspiring moments of life.

Background

My creative journey began at Winchester School of Art, where I studied textile design and earned a prestigious print award. This accomplishment led to designing printed textiles for high-end fashion houses. Later, I joined a renowned London furnishing fabrics and wallpaper studio as a designer. While the interior design industry offered invaluable experiences, my ultimate dream was to establish my art studio and create my own paintings. With strong family ties to the West Country, I relocated to Devon to paint and teach in my private studio.

  • Soulful, captivating paintings to elevate your home and bring lasting joy

  • Short courses and workshops for adults and children (qualified instructor)
