| About the Artist |
These paintings are the work of an artist whose experience through journeys informs her practice. Memory, experience or imagination influence the way in which we perceive the world. Deborah's paintings hover between a real and illusionary, imagined world. |

|

Sheet OO
2005 oil on canvas 140 x 170 |
|
I work into the physical surface of the painting and allow the work to evolve until a surface is reached that has its own history, revealing or hiding what has gone before. |
Land I
2006 oil on canvas/digital print 60 x 90 |
|
This series investigates photography and painting. I do not wish to use a photograph to aid a painting but to make the photograph as important as the painting. |
Land II
2006 oil on canvas/digital print 60 x 90 |
|
This semi-abstract image explores the relationship between abstract and realism. |
Land III
2006 oil on canvas/digital print 60 x 90 |
