A dynamic artist of passion, colour, purpose and integrity, Deborah is inspired by the colour of life and its Creator. Born in Zimbabwe, Africa, she moved to Australia in 1988 with her family. She currently lives and works in Mandurah.
Deborah's work is a reflection of an exuberant, energetic personality, deep spiritual awareness, a joyful expectancy and optimism with a profound respect for our beautiful planet and fellow man. She engages with her paintings with more of an emotional response to the subject, theme and environment that she finds herself in. Deborah's intention is to capture the immediacy of the feelings she is experiencing in the moment when she is faced with the substrates and materials at hand. She draws on bold, expressive, gestural form, colour and mark making, to describe her responses. |

Deborah's great love of surface structure and tension, always leads her to seeking to discover new ways and techniques to enrich the quality of her paintings. Scrapers, wire wool, sand paper, collage, sharp implements are just some of the tools used in the creation of the works. The large scale nature of many of her paintings expresses the restored hope and joy of creating again and immersing oneself into the fullness that life has to offer.
As a committed artist, Deborah participate in the Mandurah Plein Air Art Group and Portrait Group once a week. She holds two workshops per month, teaching and sharing her knowledge with participants.
In 2009, Deborah completed a significant commission of 116, original artworks for The Sebel Hotel, Mandurah. Recent major solo exhibitions, INNOVATION, held at the Mandurah Alcoa Art Gallery, 2021 and AWAKENING, 2020, at Lost Eden Creative Space, launched her art practice into an exciting, new direction.
Upcoming solo show is scheduled in October/November 2024, Lost Eden Creative Space, Dwellingup.
