Debra Hill's magical conceptual paintings weave metaphor and whimsey into a tapestry of vibrant color. Born in Sydney, Australia, Debra 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.

"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."

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. Also as a featured artist in the new digital arts magazine "Digitas". A brief return to Austrailia in 1997 to exhibit the 150th Anniversary Art Show Oz circus resulted in a feature article in the major Sydney paper "The Daily Telegraph". Debra has exhibited her work in numerous group and solo shows both here and in Austrailia.
