Deborah first began exhibiting her work in 1974 showing first with Johnson Galleries in Edmonton, then with Leafhill Gallery in Victoria and Harrison Galleries in Vancouver.
During her fifteen years in England she was represented by Royal Fine Art in Tunbridge Wells and Bromley Gallery in London and had work selected for permanent exhibition with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour.
Returning to Victoria BC in 1992 she exhibited with several galleries and is now represented by The West End Gallery and Gallery 8.
Deborah teaches extensively including both group and private lessons.
For me, painting has always been about the light. I lived for many years in England where I painted watercolours of English and European street-scenes, captivated by the light and the shadows over the texture of old brick, stone and peeling plaster. I have often returned to the streets of Europe for my inspiration, sometimes in watercolour but often in oils. I also enjoy the challenge the local landscape offers although the subject within the landscape is secondary to my main inspiration and focus which is the light, the interplay of warms and cools, lights and darks and the subtle colours of autumn and winter, the rusts, violets, blue-greys and soft greens. Landscape painting is a challenge, one that is endlessly fascinating and deeply fulfilling.
