Deborah Phillips was born in Dundee in 1965. She graduated with BA Arts (Hons) from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 1987. She is now one of the most promising young Scottish artists.

Deborah Phillips started her art career as a designer with the National Trust for Scotland. A similar role followed as Deborah undertook work with Historic Scotland. Deborah Phillips also worked with an international art and craft company professionally demonstrating art and craft materials from 1996 to 1998.

Today much of Deborah Phillips contemporary painting is undertaken from commissions. Corporate organisations such as Standard Life, Bank of Scotland, Marks and Spencer together with well know personalities feature as collectors of her increasingly popular painting.

As a contemporary Scottish artist Deborah Phillips makes use of strong and bold colour. Her paintings are rooted in the rich, evocative Scottish Landscape. And in recent paintings Deborah has concentrated on using Acrylics which give added vitality and movement to her paintings.

A critic once wrote "Deborah Phillips is one of those gifted artists who can paint a scene which we are all familiar, yet have never seen as she sees it." Deborah describes her paintings as "jaunty Scottish landscape!". They are certainly immediately identifiable and uplifting.

Several magazine articles have featured Deborah Phillips paintings including Artists and Illustrators and International Artist Magazine. She has also been the Cover Artist for Picture Business Magazine. And images of Deborah's contemporary paintings are now available as greetings cards from Paperlink within their L'arte range. When she is not painting Deborah Phillips is also a convener at the Dundee Art Society.

In addition to Red Rag Scottish Art Gallery Deborah Phillips art work has been exhibited at other leading Scottish Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Deborah Phillips artist studio and like all Red Rag Scottish art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
