Born and raised in Scotland Debbie left to study in London. Six years later after a holiday in Cornwall she moved to Penzance (1996) as it provided an idyllic environment in which to bring up her family.
In fulfilling her desire to live by the sea Debbie believes her artwork conveys her love of Cornwall with it’s calm pace of life and beautiful scenery. Inspired by her long walks through the coastal villages and the reflection of light on the sea, Debbie translates these images by using bold colour and simple shapes to express the unique tranquillity of Cornish life.
