Artwork Description

This is an one of a kind original artwork consists of acrylic paint. 'Somewhere Softly' is an imagined landscape where colour, texture and pattern intertwine. I wanted to create soft rolling forms with delicate marks echoing the rhythm of grasses, wild growth, pathways and waterways that all drift beneath a vast quiet sky with hints of soft rain falling. This is my dreamlike place of calm and serenity, an escape for the senses. I used my favourite colour palette of greens, blues, ochre and hints of blush pink that all work perfectly with this gentle landscape artwork.

This artwork consists of professional quality cotton canvas, varnished for protection, the sides are painted in a light green colour, signature is on the front and the back, and includes a certificate of authenticity.

Artist Bio

Debra Duffy 92 artworks | 9 Sold

Debra's early years on a farm in the rural Hawkesbury region of New South Wales instilled in her a deep connection to the land. Surrounded by wide open spaces and the rhythms of country life, she developed a lasting appreciation for nature's quiet beauty- an influence that continues to shape her artistic practice.

Her creative journey began in childhood, sparked by an innate love of drawing and making.
This passion eventually led her to pursue formal study, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from Western Sydney University. While she spent many years creating privately , it wasn't until 2023 that Debra made the decision to share her work publicly , inviting audiences into her world of colour, texture and thoughtful expression.

Working primarily with acrylics, artist markers and watercolours, Debra's progress is grounded in experimentation. She explores line and pattern, organic forms, layered surfaces and contrasting textures to craft a visual language that feels both intuitive and lyrical. Her practice is ever-evolving, marked by a sense of curiosity and discovery.

Debra's distinctive style has already captured attention, with her work 'Serendipity' featured on Channel 7's renovation series Dream Home in 2024. As she continues to develop her voice, Debra remains committed to translating her deep-rooted connection to the landscape into artworks that resonate with emotion and authenticity.
