BIOGRAPHY
Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire Debra developed an early passion for creating things, and sold her first piece of artwork at the age of fifteen to an English teacher at her secondary school. She later went on to produce images in watercolour and oils, specialising in fine detail paintings featuring people and elements of nature, which were sold in and around Yorkshire and Derbyshire, as well as being exhibited on a number of occasions at The Great Sheffield Art Show and elsewhere.
Following a relocation to Cornwall in 2005 Debra discovered a new passion for photography. Through this exciting medium she initially concentrated on landscapes which were sold in shops in the South West and online (www.artographique.co.uk), but now creates complex composite pictures built up from her own photographs. The focus is placed upon well known, and not so well known, myths and legends from around the world.
In 2017 Debra developed an interest in film making, winning an indie award for her first short movie/music video, Seven Deadly Sins. She also graduated with a Plymouth University First (plus Distinction and Principal's Commendation) Foundation Degree in Photography & Digital Imaging. The following year she achieved a First in her BA (Hons) Applied Media Degree and produced a sequel to her first film titled, Seven Deadly Sins Evolution which features special effects work.
In 2019 Debra gained her PGCE and became a fully qualified post-16 lecturer.
Other interests include the study of ancient writings and history, investigating world mysteries, painting, gardening and ice skating.
Debra is an ex ice hockey player that previously coached the Wadebridge Wizards U18 Roller Hockey Team.
