BIOGRAPHY
Deborah Frank is an artist in training living in West Essex, England. Currently completing a BA in contemporary portraiture at The Art Academy London, she works primarily in oils but has also experimented in steel, clay and film. Having had a love for drawing and photography from a young age, a lot of her work begins from documentational responses to her surroundings and narrational stories she interweaves from reality and dreams. Her recent body of work narrates the figure within landscape. Her work has been showcased at The Mall, ROI and local exhibitions and art trails.
