Deb is a beach loving artist who grew up and raised her own family in Hampton, Victoria, later migrating to Port Melbourne, and then Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, where she still loves and enjoys the beach lifestyle.  For many years she managed her successful events management company ‘Events Edge’.  Due to the popularity, over time she specialised in corporate Christmas tree design and installation, developing a reputation for her vibrant and colourful large-scale tailored tree designs and decorations.

In her leisure time, and with a young family, holidays and weekends were always spent along the Victorian surf coast. The memories of bright blue skies, the sound of the surf crashing, beautiful crystal clear aqua blue waters, the smell of the sea, and the white sand oozing between the toes are what have always inspired her, and what she seeks to evoke in her artwork.  Deb’s sons were enthusiastically involved in Torquay Nippers from a very young age which led to her also becoming entrenched in the Surf Lifesaving culture, which she was involved in at various levels for many years.

Deb’s affinity for the sea and desire to always live beside it, gives her a calm and inspiring creative environment in which to produce her art. These precious times and influences inform the work she creates which is also reflective of who she is as a person: Fun, personable, colourful, down to earth, and vibrant.
