Deborah spent over ten years working as a freelance portrait/reportage photographer before studying at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design where she graduated in Glass and Fine Art and Glass and Architecture. Recent exhibitions include British Glass Bienalle, Stourbridge , Aug. 2004 , ‘Minus One’ New London Glass @ Designersblock, London E1., Sept.2005, the East London Design Show, Shoreditch EC1, Nov. 2005 and The Windows Gallery, Canary Wharf, Feb. 2006.

Deborah was awarded the William De Morgan Travel Award 2002 and the Chase Charity Award 2003.

Her work combines photography and glass, using layering, shading and montage to produce the final pieces. Much of her recent work is based on photographs documenting significant change in East London over the past several years. By focusing on stark buildings and altering the scale or perspective, these areas take on a new form.
Lighting, whether artificial or natural, is also integral in creating a somewhat fantastical representation of what is otherwise an ordinary scene.

She works from her studio near her home in East London.
