Deborah paints vibrant acrylic and ochre paintings with immense visual power and complexity; prismatic colours dance upon the canvas, reflecting a sense of positive energy, optimism, balance and harmony.
Influenced by her Gija and Yamaji heritage, Deborah celebrates her visual arts practice creating contemporary abstracts of Western Australia, reclaiming country through her technique of repetitive patterns and intricate doting to create artwork that is inspired by the natural surrounding landscapes, she shows a love of place and country with her use of bold bright colours and explores connection to land in modern Australia.
