My practice revolves around my desire to capture the beauty of the Australian landscape – both where I live and further afield – returning to where I have been or where my imagination takes me afterwards. Away from the frenetics of modern living to the ease and gentleness of the landscape and all its contemplation, I am chronicling my captivation with the peace it brings me. My hope and motivation is that the viewer can feel it, not just see it. To feel peaceful, we all need that!

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.
