“Deborra is an energetic, kind, inspiring, and powerful person who I admire and respect. When you observe Deborra working int the studio, you can see that she is a flurry of creative energy and inspiration. For as long as I have known her she has worked with enthusiasm and focused effort to enhance and refine her artistic talent in order to create thoughtful artworks that are full of life and whimsy. I believe that Deborra has a career ahead that is very much like the natural forms, birds and flowers the she often paints - beautiful, elegant, colorful, and rich with meaning.”
