“Each painting is like a puzzle to solve. I build up the canvass with many layers of acrylic paint A journey of memories through colour, marks and experiences"
Debbie often paints large swimming events on Brighton Beach, just a short distance from her home. Recently, she captured the energy of International Women’s Day and a Pride swim, using the collective experience of people entering the water to create a figurative landscape.
“The sight, sound & energy of 500 people in the sea is so joyous and moving, everyone is so present with the moment. I love the way bodies merge, the pops of neon colours from swimming hats and the way everything fades into the horizon. It’s like I’m standing in my painting”
Her paintings invite viewers to reflect on our profound connection to water and the trans-formative power of shared human experiences.
