Debbie Tearle

Debbie is a multidisciplinary artist based in Surrey, UK, whose abstract and semi-abstract practice explores place, landscape and the passage of time. Working across painting and textiles, she is interested not in depicting specific locations, but in evoking the emotional and sensory experience of being within a landscape and the ways in which places become connected to memory, identity and personal experience.

From large scale fluid paintings to smaller intimate pieces, walking is central to Debbie’s creative methodology. Found elements are not simply symbolic references to landscape; they are physically incorporated into her work, allowing the environment itself to participate in its creation. This direct material relationship between place and artwork reflects her ongoing interest in authenticity, trace, memory and the relationship between land and self.

Debbie has exhibited in physical and online group shows across Surrey, London, and the UK and in Open studio events. Her work is collection in the UK, Ireland, USA and Spain. She is represented by Arty Corner and Bobcat Gallery.

Regularly curating exhibitions including In My Mind’s Eye, Debbie is a member of several art groups including ArtCan. In 2025, she became a member of Fountain Gallery, followed in 2026 by membership of The Wilderness Collective. In 2026, she co-founded the Canopy Tree Artists Collective.
