Debbie’s passion for art began at an early age, winning a National Cadbury’s Art Award at just eight years old. She first exhibited her work at 15 and went on to study art at A-Level.
After leaving education, Debbie pursued a career in journalism before moving into communications. Following the birth of her two children, she rediscovered her love for art. What began as a simple sketch of her eldest daughter, shared on Facebook, quickly led to a wave of commissions and, as they say, the rest is history.
Debbie now works part-time in communications, dedicating the rest of her time—including many evenings and weekends—to her art practice from her studio in Norfolk, England. She is known for her use of bright, bold acrylics and her growing reputation as a wildlife artist, with collectors as far afield as New Zealand and America.
Having faced blood cancer twice, Debbie’s artistic direction has moved away from strict realism. She now seeks to capture something deeper—focusing on the magic, beauty, and light found within the natural world. Nature has become both an inspiration and a sanctuary, and this connection is reflected in every piece she creates.
Debbie is a member of the Natural World Art Society, supporting wildlife conservation charities through her work. Alongside her original artwork, she continues to take on a steady stream of commissions, particularly pet portraits, which remain close to her heart.
She is also one of only a handful of artists in the UK that paint memorial pet portraits using ashes.
She regularly exhibits her work and loves to welcome visitors to her studio by appointment.
