Debra is a London-based mixed-media artist. With a fine arts background from Kingston School of Art, she has over two decades of artistic experience ranging from theatre stage settings and prop making to captivating feature walls and teaching. Her clients include Anthropologie, Vogue, and V&A Museum

Debra's artistic journey has now led her to fully immerse herself in painting. Her creative passion extends to her travels, especially in India, where she finds inspiration in found treasures, old textiles and the coloured streets. She is fascinated by the faded elegance and beauty of age, and decay; torn papers, peeling paint, old motifs, faded colours, fragile and delicate shades of multi-layered fragments of history.

Passionate about texture, pattern and colour, Debra's work comes alive through intricate collages, drawings and a meticulous layering process. Her unique sketchbooks offer a rare glimpse into her creative process, filled with thoughts, colour, drawing and collected treasures from her journeys.

India, particularly Rajasthan, holds a special place in Debra's heart, influencing much of her vibrant artwork.

Her New book The Pigment Trail published was earlier this year. Through her sketchbook and camera, Debra has created a unique portrait of a country seen through the eye of an artist. Debra invites readers to embark on her artistic odyssey across India through captivating collages, drawings, photographs and musings.
