Deborah Phillips is a self taught artist. Having originally trained as a fashion designer & having a background in bridal design, Deborah re found her love of art in 2019 when she first started to make her sculptured busts. The busts slowly began to develop during lockdown with the addition of mirror mosaic glass & then more recently with them being turned into stylish unique lamps with the addition of handmade lampshades. Each of these pieces is completely unique & can be commissioned with a variety of different coloured grouts or different coloured glasses. Lampshades can be covered with an array of fabrics & adorned with any number of decorations; feathers, crystals, pom pom fridges to name but a few.
During lockdown Deborah turned her sights to painting as a way to ease mental health issues. This foray into painting has changed her life. She has found a newfound freedom escaping into her canvases. Originally starting to experiment with fluid art, Deborah soon moved on to working with different mediums, adding texture to her work, & more lately, adding fabrics & threads into her pieces too.
Please note, Deborah’s working studio is on Stalham High Street. Unit 2, 110, set back from the main road, directly opposite The Little Red Fire station Museum. The studio doubles up as a sewing shop where Deborah also works on clothing & soft furnishing alterations, as well as making ties, pocket squares & cufflinks from fabrics she has designed.
