Debra Hill | Fantasy painter

Australian artist Debra Hill acquired her art education at Sydney University and Paddington Art School.

She subsequently took to travelling seeking life experience from different cultures, settling for a time in Mexico where the colorful culture brought her imagination to life. Since then her paintings have been infused with an almost carnival quality. Executed in oils, her paintings exhibit her skill as both an accomplished painter as well as a designer.

Since taking up residence in New York in 1994 her work has found its way into the spotlight as the art used for Earth Day 1995, along with Peter Max.

For several years her work was part of a touring exhibition, Global Vision, with featured shows in Atlanta and New York. Then in a brief return to Australia to exhibit in the 150th Anniversary Oz Circus Art Show resulted in a feature article in a Sydney Newspaper.

In ’08 she was awarded “Best 3-d painting” in the Stanthorpe Art Prize in Australia.

""For me the joy pf painting is creating colorful new worlds narrating a fantastical 'micro' moment in life. A moment that passes so fast that one barely notices the thought, the action or the outcome. I capture on canvas that moment and with lyrical metaphor, expand that moment for eternity" - Debra Hill".
