Deborah Wace is a fabric designer, ecological activist, plant advocate and professional printmaker from Tasmania. Her highly detailed and intimate artwork creates a window into the botany of Tasmanian wild plant communities.
Deborah draws on a personal botanical specimen collection gathered over 30 years to create rich, layered and complex botanical designs on fine fabric and wallpapers, and in limited edition fine art, using digital, dry point and monoprint techniques. A graduate from Canberra School of Arts (1988) with a Bachelor Degree of Visual Arts-Printmaking, she loves teaching printmaking classes from her Hobart studio.
Advocating for Tasmania’s wild and endangered botany to protect threatened species and valuable ecological, historical and cultural environments is an important part of Deborah’s work.
