Deborah accepted her first commissioned painting a number of years ago, and quickly realised this is what brings her joy in life. From colour, Deborah takes her deepest breath. Painting is a safe space where she can be herself; a constant passenger in her life, wherever the journey takes her. Carrying the invisible hinderances of anxiety and panic attacks, Deborah feels all of that melt away when she paints. 

Deborah's body of creative work depicts a playful inner landscape, as well as a deeper look into the lesser-known stories of her more figurative work. While there is a clear softness to her work, a multitude of layers float to the surface upon closer inspection. Deborah's inspiration comes from everywhere - colour, tone, and shapes she has collected in her mind's eye from daily life and travels. She feels mixed media greatly complements her natural artistic style.

A minimalistic torso, the figure is stripped down to sweeping abstract line focusing only on the sensual curvature of the female form. She is me. She is a woman. She is a mother. She is beautiful. She carries scars the eye cannot see, she wears her heart bare. Her head is in a fog. She is beautiful. She is me.
