Debbie Kersley

I originally studied at Glasgow School of Art and since then have been a freelance artist.
I use drawing to see and learn more. I enjoy ‘looking without knowing’, and then building an understanding through drawing. You will often find me sketching outdoors or at live music and dance events.

After many years working in Health and Social Care, I have a special interest in the importance of the arts in healthcare and community.
I am currently drawing at Monkscroft Care Centre where I created an artist-in-residence. This project is exploring the ways in which drawing can create a valuable connection between artist, subject and audience, whilst also documenting elements of life at a Nursing Home.
I also collaborate with others on a variety of community arts projects such as Creative Age.
I run regular studio sessions for children and Nature Journalling Classes for adults.
I hold a monthly online Look Club and face-to-face gallery discussions, as a trained facilitator of the Visual Thinking Strategies Approach.
