Debbie Thielmann is a talented artist, who spends her time "creating" in her beautiful atelier overlooking the North Shore Mountains.

Debbie's love for the arts - music, great writings, theatre and life as it unfolds around her - has influenced her paintings and her delight in every day life. Never afraid of a challenge, this year Debbie tried paragliding and hiked the West Coast Trail with her husband Al. Debbie has taken her adventurous spirit into exploring different styles of art- specifically impressionist art - and discovered a passion for dramatic images and intense colour. Both the dramatic images and the intense colour draw people into her art - take a look at Debbie's paintings and be prepared to be lost within them.
