Debi Garrett ~ Fine Artist ~ Oils, Acrylics & Watercolours
About Me
I've been a creative little soul since I was a child, watching my late father paint oil landscapes. The smell of linseed oil takes me back to childhood!
I'm a Reiki Master and run my own business so art is my therapy and gives me headspace.
The natural world is my muse and inspires most of my work. I have experimented with many styles and am now exploring figurative art and bold colour.
My Art Projects
Acrylic Realism
Oils & Landscapes
Abstract Art & Watercolour
Acrylic Realism - I loved working on this project.
It taught me patience amongst other things! I had never really used acrylics before taking this course so it greatly helped me learn how to use them well, the importance of tone & how to blend edges.
Oils & Landscapes
Oils were my first love and I adore the depth they bring to natural scenes, painting with the palette knife is something I love as well - and oils are perfect for that!
Watercolours are fun - and so unpredictable!
I use them for sacred art workshops, and also created a full animal art collection back in 2021 - limited edition prints are available.
Abstract Art
Paint pouring and abstract art is always fun - and I love hearing what people see in the flows. I have some of these creations up on the wall at home and every day I notice something new - what do you see?
After years of trying different styles, I am now exploring figurative work and story telling through art

The Inquisitive Garden Visitor
In a tranquil garden, vibrant lemon trees stood tall, their branches heavy with bright yellow fruit. Amidst this serene setting, an inquisitive young crow made its home. Each morning, it would flutter down from the treetops, landing amidst the foliage with a gentle rustle, its sharp eyes scanning the garden with curiosity.
The crow was especially fond of the lemon trees, hopping from branch to branch, pecking lightly at the lemons and nibbling on the leaves. One day, it noticed a sparkling silver pendant lying on the ground. Intrigued, the crow picked it up & placed it gently on a flat stone, standing guard over it.
The garden's caretaker noticed the crow's peculiar behaviour and watched with interest. When the pendant's owner returned, retracing her steps, the crow led her to the pendant, its intelligent eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
From that day on, the young crow became a beloved guardian of the garden, exploring and protecting its verdant home, forever a part of the garden's magic.

"Cosmic Dreamer"
In the heart of a starlit universe, where galaxies weave tales of ancient wisdom, there lived a cosmic dreamer. She roamed the cosmos, her spirit intertwined with the celestial dance of planets and constellations.
With eyes closed, she soared through nebulae, trailing stardust in her wake. Her soul pulsed with the rhythm of the cosmos. She held a single feather, a token of her connection to the infinite. She surrendered to the embrace of the universe, letting her spirit soar on wings of pure starlight.
In this mystical realm, dreams take flight, and imagination reigns supreme. It is a place where souls dance with the light of a thousand stars, and every whisper carries the promise of enchantment.
Her thoughts wove tales of wonder and magic, painting the heavens with her hopes and desires. Each brushstroke of her mind brought the universe to life, filling the void with a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes.
With the hint of a smile upon her lips, she knew that she would forever be a cosmic dreamer, wandering the stars in search of magic and wonder.

The Keeper of the Lost Library
In the heart of an ancient forest, hidden from the eyes of men, stood the remnants of an old library. This was no ordinary library; it was a repository of forgotten knowledge, a sanctuary for ancient wisdom, and a place where magic still whispered through the dust-laden air. The abandoned hall spoke of a time long past, yet the place still pulsed with an undeniable aura of enchantment.
Perched upon a pile of old hardback books, sat a solitary crow its feathers shimmering with a deep, iridescent indigo that seemed to absorb the very light around it. This crow was no ordinary bird; it was the Keeper of the Lost Library, a sentinel appointed by the ancient wizards to guard the secrets within.
An open book lay in the foreground, its pages rustling softly as if stirred by an unseen hand. The crow's sharp eyes glinted with intelligence as it guarded the text. Through the shattered windows, shafts of light filtered in, casting a glow that illuminated the delicate strands of foliage and leaves that had begun to reclaim the space. Nature, it seemed, was eager to weave its own stories into the tapestry of the library's history.
The enchantment of the place was timeless, and the crow's presence was a testament to the enduring power of knowledge and magic. What secrets did this crow guard? The answers lay within the pages of the ancient tomes, waiting for the right moment, or the right soul, to uncover them.
And so, in the heart of the ancient forest, the crow remained, the ever-watchful guardian of the lost library, a bridge between the past and the mysteries that awaited discovery.

"The Crow and the Moon Pool"
In this captivating painting, a solitary crow perches elegantly on the edge of a moonlit pool, its feathers glistening with an ethereal sheen.
The scene is set within the hauntingly beautiful ruins of an ancient courtyard, where ivy-clad arches and weathered stone walls whisper tales of forgotten times.
The moon, full and luminous, casts a silvery glow across the serene water, creating an almost magical reflection that seems to merge the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Flickering torches line the passageways, their warm light contrasting with the cool, mystical ambiance of the night. In the foreground, a stack of old, leather-bound books and a solitary candle suggest a place of quiet contemplation and hidden knowledge.
This artwork masterfully blends elements of mystery and serenity, drawing the viewer into a timeless, enchanting world.
Acrylic on canvas board, unframed 16x20" £350 inc. UK P&P. Prints also available £49 inc. UK P&P
