Deborah Phillips was born in Dundee and first exhibited work at
the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute of
Fine Art at the age of 14.
She attended Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and
graduated with BA (honours) in 1987. Following graduation she
took up the post of Merchandise Designer with the National Trust
for Scotland. A similar post with Historic Scotland followed.
Her design work has been featured in several leading women's
magazines. She also worked with an international art and craft
materials company demonstrating products at leading art fairs.
Deborah now concentrates on painting in acrylics in her Dundee
studio overlooking the Firth of Tay.
Deborah says, " I enjoy all aspects of creating a painting, from
going out into the the stunning Scottish countryside to collect
reference material, priming the board on which I will paint,
squeezing paint from the tubes and watching it glisten on the
palette, holding the well-used brushes, mixing the squelchy
colour and applying it in swathes, varnishing, framing and then
seeing the finished article on a gallery wall - every stage
gives me a thrill."
