Inspired by Nature

Deb Hunter-Whitlock’s studio is situated at Waipu Cove, Northland, New Zealand. Debs love of nature is expressed in her atmospheric landscape paintings. Like most artists, her work is influenced by more than just what is seen, it comes from deep within and an inherent need to express this by creating art.
