Life

Deborah De Angelis is a firm believer that beauty comes from the ashes. Despite an idyllic childhood exploring her father's sprawling art studio, Deborah's adult life has been punctuated with danger and uncertainty as she navigated life alongside her deeply traumatised ex-husband. Existing in a highly stressed and heightened state, Deborah found herself engulfed with anxiety and panic attacks.
 
Through the highs and lows, painting has been Deborah's constant companion. It is with colour that Deborah draws her deepest breath. Favouring a vibrant, sunny colour palette, Deborah finds solace and safety in her art – always there for her no matter the winding and unpredictable path life may take.

The fish are squished in; the water used to be nice but now is murky because of the flower stems. One fish is trying to move against the others, but there is no room left. 
In life we are sometimes in a place, environment or relationship for so long that we don’t realise over time it has become unsafe, stagnant and uncomfortable.
