Curriculum Vitae
Biography
Since moving to rural Aberdeenshire in 1999, Deborah has developed a passion for all facets of the ‘local’. This has become manifest in both her own professional artistic practice: the idea of ‘noticing’ one’s locale in order to effect change on both local and global levels, and in working for Limousine Bull Artists’ Collective in the urban regeneration area of Torry, Aberdeen. She is particularly concerned with water: seeing it as both inspiration and a major indicator of the health of the Earth.
Deborah is committed to the provision of quality art projects that invite and embrace a wider audience, particularly via work that addresses issues of sustainability and environment.
Key Skills
Good working knowledge of Photoshop, iMovie, iDVD and Microsoft Office. Experience in all aspects of project management: from funding to realisation of project, including interface with artist, design work, collation of essential requirements for the project and documentation. Particularly proficient in realising AV projects.
