I make paintings and prints rooted in close observation of landscape, gardens and the small encounters that shape our sense of place.

About my work

A slower way of looking

My work records the beauty of the overlooked, peers into hedgerows and gazes across the fields of rural Norfolk, shaped by close observation and attention to seasonal change.

Prints of Sketchbook Drawings from the Garden

A mixed media drawing in charcoal and ink of a quince tree.

I write a fortnightly Substack, ​Still, sketching, where I reflect on my own drawing practice and explore the work of overlooked women artists and illustrators.

Kind words from collectors

Glenda Whitehouse, Canada

The print I purchased travelled across the world to reach me, but it was worth the wait. It was perfect and conveyed an entire world in a 5 inch square. I could not be happier - and the artist was wonderful to deal with! She deserves more stars.

This is a stunning piece of work. I am thrilled with it. Deborah was very professional and appreciably communicative throughout the buying process. The final product was well packaged and beautifully presented.
