Debbie Mackenzie is an artist residing on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. After studying Graphic Design and following a career in advertising, Debbie embarked on a journey into the romantic.
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 shack at Peterborough on the Great Ocean Road. These land and seascapes provide a rich and endless source of motivation.
