Deborah's reflected streetscapes are placeless places where fluid and fleeting exchanges between pedestrians and mannequins occur.
"We humans instantly imagine any creature, whether corporal or constructed, to have personality. This anthropomorphism is what I continually strive to express in my work. I enjoy that we instinctively apply stories to photographs of strangers, to animals, to toys with faces and even to headless mannequins!"
Deborah's a photographic and mixed media artist, having studied painting, drawing, sculpting and photography at The Toronto School of Art, the Art Gallery of Ontario and, in Montreal, at The Dawson School of Photography. Her work is enjoyed by private collectors in Canada, Trinidad and the US and has been exhibited in Toronto, Denmark and Nova Scotia. She's currently represented by Swoon Gallery in Hammonds Plains, The Copper Fox Gallery in Halls Harbour and Harvest Gallery in Wolfville.
Sharing home and studio with her husband on four acres of Acadian Forest, Deborah is surrounded by great friends, sustainable family-run farms and the magnificent Bay of Fundy.
