About the Artist

Deb McMenamin on a surfboard in the ocean, gathering inspiration for her coastal paintings

Deb McMenamin is a mixed media artist based on the Gold Coast, Australia.

 

After dedicating over four decades to teaching art, Deb has shifted her focus entirely to her passion for creating vibrant, coastal-inspired artworks.

 

Living by the sea, Deb draws constant inspiration from the dynamic landscapes, colours, and ever-changing moods of coastal life. Her recent journey into surfing at 59 has deepened her connection with nature, a theme reflected in her work.

 

Each piece captures the beauty and joy found in life's simple pleasures, inviting viewers to experience the same sense of freedom and inspiration she finds in the natural world.
