Red Field

Debbie studied illustration at Harrow School of Art and then The Royal College of Art. She lived and worked in London as an Illustrator for 15 years until 2003, and now lives and paints in Chardstock, East Devon.

 

Debbie’s escape route from London was to move to Somerset to renovate and run a country inn with every intention of carrying on painting in a landscape she loves.

 

Things don’t always go to plan! After 13 years of looking only she has finally been able to pick up her brushes full time and see the world in brush strokes again. ‘I almost imagine it is like waking up from a coma and it has found me fresh, excited and fascinated by who I am now and how I see and interpret things visually’.

 

Debbie loves the act of brushing blobs of paint of varying thickness on a surface, one over the other. In most of her work she assembles landscapes based on her walks with her dog in the landscape of Devon, using coastal and muddy footpaths, through gates and over fields with houses, farm buildings and animals as points of focus to organize the blobs of colour.
