ABOUT ME
Deborah is an award winning British landscape painter and printmaker and is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art and The Royal College of Art, London.
Her work utilises the subject of landscape as an expression of the heights and depths of human emotion and experience. She examines the concept of ‘otherness’ alongside aspects of ‘vision’. Perception, meditation, smart technology, and the physicality of looking are starting points for her in making the invisible, visible.
“We live in such changing and volatile times – yet mostly, landscape holds us and remains the same.”
