Paintings

Working in layers, using colours, shapes and textures that appeal to her, and experimenting with new ways of laying paint or other media down on the canvas, is how Deb likes to start all her paintings. She tries to let go of her expectations of what a piece will be and use what she sees in the marks and colours, and the emotions that she is feeling to drive the shape and subject matter of the painting; letting what is happening on the canvas drive what comes next. She focuses on what she is liking and connecting to, to move her through the rest of the painting.
