DEB MICHELL-SMITH

As an artist based in regional NSW my work is a celebration of the everyday, drawing inspiration from the vibrant colours and inherent beauty of daily life.

My art delves into the landscapes, environments, and neighbourhoods that surround me, exploring the deep connection between nature, people, and places. Through my work, I uncover the layers of my life in regional Australia, reflecting on the connections to people and places, memories, and the communities that shape my existence.

Utilising nostalgic Australian colours, I creates emotive narratives through paint. The repetitive nature of my brushstrokes and the layering of colours mirror the layers of my memories and experiences. In essence, I am painting my story, discovering myself, and crafting my own sense of place.
