Debra Stroud Biography

Emerging British artist Debra Stroud is inspired by the luminosity and reflective light quality that surrounds the coast, creating striking seascapes which vividly capture the ever changing face of the clouds and sea. Her pieces also show the influence of minimalism, with their clean, clear lines and sense of symmetry.

In the aritst's own words:
"From my earliest childhood, the sea with it’s continually changing moods, has always been the greatest source of inspiration for me. There is a great sense of calm and tranquility. The sound of the waves crashing, that distinctive smell and the wind on your face - in fact the whole 3-dimensional experience. I can never tire of it and it still evokes the same excitement now as it did when I was a child – running over the pebbles and sharp shells to be first to get to the sea. It is so evocative that it drives me to try to re-create it in my paintings."
