Hi, I’m Deborah Lang aka Debstar :)
My home based Studio is in North Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
It’s my happy place, I love it!
My Artist Story began end of 2020 when I decided to revisit reclaimed timber wall hangings which I used to make prior to having children. I lovingly hand crafted these pieces out of old timber pallets and painted a series of coral and seaweed on them.
One day I decided to paint them on canvas and I haven’t looked back…
The turning point in My Story came in August 2022 when, inspired by many amazing artists around me I tried a new medium, Spray Paint and hand cut stencils and it was love at first sight! I came alive, it was like I had entered another world that I didn't want to come out of :) This was when ‘Debstar’ (my street name) was born!
My subjects are varied, but I always like to add a pop of colour or texture OR just to be completely different black and white on book pages!…
The last year or so I’ve been painting a series of Magpies on branches which have proven to be very popular! So I’m enjoying evolving the backgrounds, I also have painted another popular series ‘Ducks in a Row!’ and have played around with Penguin Book Covers, cockatoos and even chickens! Definitely a bit of a bird theme developing :) I have painted colourful Dot Abstracts, exploring colour and texture, and of late have found I’m being drawn to urbancsapes so I’ll see where the takes me.
I always have so many ideas it’s exciting to see them come alive on the canvas.
I have painted and often revisit Nudes, Iconic Celebrities, Flowers and Beachscapes.
I get so excited creating my paintings it’s truly the best feeling along side people choosing to purchase my work! It’s such an honour, I love it and I hope this comes across in my work.
At the end of the day I just want people to smile when they look at my work :)
