These small paper works are done as an intuitive response to the tactility and beauty of the materials in relation to the felt experience of being in nature. Debbie aims to create a highly suggestive sense of space, rather than to depict actual objects.  Working the surface of the painting with depth and luminosity, gesture and chance, she conveys the mood of a moment: the open-ended, formless shapes found in nature, and the atmosphere of possibility. Inspired by all of nature these pieces hope to tease out, to invite an echo of that same inspiration as felt in the heart of the viewer.
