Images of Dance
Australian and New York Dancers |
 |
Debra’s collaboration with dance companies involved long hours of observation as premier dancers rehearsed, rested and performed in a process of creation that she discovered paralleled her own work. The illuminated figures emerging through the dark into the light leave the viewer feeling as a spectator would, watching a performance on stage.

Selected Work - Special Viewing
The Figure and the Dance |
 |
Debra's latest work continues to explore the beauty she captured in ten weeks in New York in 2007 - drawing, painting and printmaking in studios, at dance performances and rehearsals. Her subject is the figure, which compels her art across a classical range of media, from painting, to drawings and the print-making method of monotypes. |
