he beguiling wildlife and field paintings of
Debbie Boon are inspired by two passions;
the sheer joy of bringing a blank canvas to
life through painting, and the delight gained
from observing and representing the striking (and sometimes
quirky) rural characters and vast blue skies of Eastern England.
From hares and hounds to stunning equine portraiture, Debbie’s
large scale, expressive images represent a moment of stillness or
motion through a progression of lustrous colour, light, texture and
movement. Her stated aim in her work is “to reflect life and all its
visual personality.”
Debbie’s latest work has the ability to sit comfortably in both
traditional and contemporary settings and graces the walls of
numerous boutique hotels, including Michael Caine’s signature
restaurant in the Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter and her celebrity
collectors include John Francome. Over the years she has taught
and lectured in art and held the post of Artist in Residence at
Oundle School. Her work was the choice for the Royal Box at The
Royal Windsor Show and is exhibited at the Concours of Elegance
exhibition which takes place at royal locations including St James’s
Palace, Hampton Court Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
