ARTBOX will display her watercolour and acrylic works, celebrating the vibrancy of life post-60.
Over three years travelling across northern and central Australia, Deborah devoted herself to her passion for drawing and painting.
She aimed to capture the vibrancy of colour and light in the ever-shifting landscapes.
In 2018, Deborah made Euroa her home, focusing her art on the seasonal beauty of Taungurung Country in the Victorian Highlands and Naarm (Melbourne).
Her time in Euroa is dedicated to depicting local landscapes, birds, botanicals, and, by popular demand, various livestock, including various pets, which is often humorously dubbed as “Deb’s painting of random local stuff”.
Having lived in tropical Australia for three decades, Deborah now relishes in depicting southern Australia's dramatic seasonal changes.
“The greens down here are a challenge,“ Deborah said.
“Tropical greens are vastly different, and it’s been enjoyable trying to convey the striking changes throughout the numerous seasons.
“There’s really no need to venture far; everything unfolds right on my doorstep.”
Deborah’s ARTBOX exhibition will be held from Thursday, May 2 to Tuesday, May 28, at ARTBOX’s current location, the grounds of Strathbogie Memorial Hall, Strathbogie.
ARTBOX is funded by Creative Victoria.
