Debbie Mackenzie is an artist residing on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. After studying Graphic Design and then following a career in advertising, Debbie embarked upon a journey into the romantic. She quickly established herself as one of the most exciting emerging artists to watch and has gone on to be involved in countless sell-out solo shows and group exhibitions.
Debbie ‘s work is largely about reverie, a sense of place and a desire to be there. Inspiration comes from Debbie's childhood, spent on the Mornington Peninsula and holidaying at their century-old family beach house at Peterborough on the Great Ocean Road. These land and seascapes provide a rich and endless source of motivation.
A John Leslie Art Prize Finalist in 2020 & 2018, Debbie has exhibited in numerous successful solo shows and group exhibitions and has work in private collections across the country & abroad.
