Deborah Illingworth

I have been called a Colourist, a Symbolist and a Regionalist; Art aficionados Fiona Jack and Peter Webb have likened my work to the New Zealand artists, Bill Sutton and Rita Angus.
My landscapes have a pathos, a quiet sadness, reminiscent of the ‘theatre of unease’ in New Zealand films, while my portraits are often tense with underlying narrative.
I have won many awards and been selected 7 times as a finalist for the Adam Portrait Award.

Thank you to all our sponsors

On behalf of the Franklin Arts Festival we would like to extend our gratitude to all our sponsors.
Without their generous patronage the Art Show would not take place.

As an event we depend on their support and in return we hope you can support them too.
