My work is often produced in response to a story, using figures and landscape to describe a specific moment or emotion. Many of these pieces are done as performance paintings. I am a regular resident artist at Spring Harvest. I have used performance painting as a form of worship within my own church setting and widely in other contexts.

In 2021 I was long-listed for the Jackson’s Painting Prize. In 2020 I graduated from Plymouth University with an MA in Contemporary Art Practice. I enjoy working from the landscape and can often be found out painting within the stunning North Devon landscape. I run art classes (both online and in person). I also run residential art holidays in North Devon. I am happy to talk about my art, the processes and techniques I use, give demos and workshops and to share the unique connections between creativity and faith.

    Deborah Last

    Member since April 2021

    Artist Deborah Last lives and works in Bideford, North Devon. She works directly from life and from memory to create light-filled work relating to the landscape and the connections we make with it as humans. In 2020 she graduated with an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from Plymouth University. She has been long-listed for the Jackson’s Painting Prize, 2021 #JPP2021. She is regularly one of the resident artists at Spring Harvest.

    Deborah explores the landscape through a daily painting practice, capturing the light and weather of the changing seasons. Her contemporary style, expressive colour and intriguing brushstrokes blend with a traditional form of art to create unique and beautiful paintings. In some of her recent studio paintings she has begun to populate the landscapes calling on her love of figure drawing. These paintings explore the strong connections we have made to the landscapes around us whilst in lockdowns.

    Having spent 7 years living in India working as an artist and tutor, her work retains the love of colour and story that so inspired her whilst she was there.

    Deborah produced the installation piece Upper Room which combined sound, body printing and anatomical drawing. It is a work exploring and examining body image, self-worth and faith. It was the headline exhibition at the Milton Keynes Art Festival Fringe in 2014 and later toured various locations around the country including Spring Harvest Minehead. The piece explored the connections of faith, self-worth and ideas of beauty.

    In 2015 she completed the 365 Project to paint the landscape every day for a year.
    She co-owned Buckingham Art School from 2008 to 2016 where she and fellow artist Zoe Day taught art to over 120 adults each week.

    Moving to North Devon at the end of 2016 enabled her to take her work in a new direction joining the MA programme at Plymouth University in September 2017 and renovating a space in her house for a studio. These last few years have been about establishing her current practice and balancing that with teaching a small number of art classes. Her daily painting practice has become like an act of contemplation and meditation that then feeds into the work she does back in the studio. She has undertaken to paint en plein air every day for the whole of 2022. This daily connection to the landscape is very much informed by the recent connections we have made during the pandemic and is greatly enhanced by the collaborative nature of the practice heading out moat days with another artist and if she's on her own she is often with her dog Archie! To hear more about the project you can listen to her BBC Radio Devon interview by following this link. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0bp7d5m

    Her work is held in private collections throughout the UK and abroad. She regularly runs online classes from her Facebook page, Drawing and Painting with Debs Last as well as face-to-face classes. She offers one-to-one support and coaching for emerging artists and workshops for wellbeing days within the workplace. She also runs art holidays and day workshops from her home and studio in North Devon and can also offer bed-and-breakfast accommodation.

Her current work has begun to explore the meanings of motherhood, family and faith in the context of separation and a global pandemic.
