Deb is a self taught artist with a wide experience in many different media . She has a love affair with art supplies and endeavors to use them all. After teaching for many years, school and adult art, she studied online with artists from around the world being exposed to many media and many different styles. Then she stopped. She wanted to be able to find her own way and her own style and so she intentionally did not research art or visit galleries. She wanted to be true to her own style, her own way of connecting with the mediums.
She grew up in South Africa where the art and culture is vibrant, eclectic, full of patterns and of course, colourful.
Art for Deb is a discovery of soul, a way to reach the messages that can be translated on canvas or paper. Deb describes herself as : "an intuitive artist but I also love to use references to gain inspiration. I don't seem to fit into a certain mold, but rather create my own way in a variety of styles. "
Deb continues to enjoy experimenting with pattern and colour; and is currently involved in several exhibitions.
