Biography
Deborah is a Chichester-based visual artist working primarily with paint and print. She views art as a catalyst for emotion and thought, aiming to spark both conversation and connection through her work.
Her practice is deeply rooted in personal experience and exploration. With a background in the travel industry, Deborah has embraced adventure and interaction with the wider world, which continues to inform her creative process.
Each piece begins with a memory or dream, evolving through the interplay of materials, music, and intuition. Her paintings resonate with layered colour, texture, and mark-making, inviting viewers to investigate further. This process-led approach reflects how memory accumulates, disintegrates, and fades, offering a cathartic exploration of identity. “I feel the process of memory construction, and the loss of it, especially after trauma, impacts our sense of identity.”
Since graduating with a BA in Fine Art from the University of Chichester, Deborah has exhibited several times at the Oxmarket Gallery in Chichester, and also at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth, and Gallery Grounds in Southampton.
