Where:
Gellibrand River Gallery, 14 Main Road Gellibrand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GellibrandRiverGallery/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gellibrand_river_gallery/ Website: https://gellibrandrivergallery.com.au Deb Gartland is a self-taught traditional and contemporary fine art photographer, who goes around with a head full of high falutin’ ideas!
Deb‘s artistic journey started early in life with a passion for writing that continues to this day – however her main love in this area has been honed to children‘s writing and haiku. |

Never quite able to fully capture the grandiose images in her head, She taught herself a number of different post processing software programs before settling in to Photoshop. Deb is not a purist, and from very early on has been pushing herself to break the rules, challenge boundaries and create vastly different images with her photography.
Deb‘s photography is highly eclectic and ranges from macro, portraiture and landscapes to still life, abstract and experimental. Her work has been highly successful at national and international Salons and Exhibitions, and she has been awarded her Licentiate (LAPS) and Associate (AAPS) by the Australian Photographic Society. Awards that recognise photographic skill.
The beginning of 2019 saw Deb set up an Encaustic workshop in the Gallery, where she works and collaborates with another artist. This move had seen Deb’s photo encaustic and mixed media works take yet another turn in creating works that are left-of-field, confront viewers and challenge traditional boundaries.
