Artist, horsewoman, writer, conservationist, adventurer.
These are just a few words one might use to describe Debra. Debra’s award-winning work has been exhibited in such prestigious venues as the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington DC, and the Natural History Museum in London, UK.
Debra’s 30 year background as one of Canada’s most-accredited horse trainers givers her a unique perspective into her wildlife subjects – particularly wild horses – as she produces intimate and nuanced photographs.
Throughout Debra’s career, she has been the recipient of many international photography awards. More importantly, she has garnered the respect of naturalists and zoologists for the in-depth studies of her animal subjects and the lands they inhabit. Debra’s tendency to delve deeper is one of the attributes that helps her stand apart.
VOICES FROM THE VANISHING runs from June 18th to 28th at the Ladysmith Gallery. Open daily from 10AM-4PM.
