Deborah King studied at Hornsey School of Art, London. Her first book ‘Rook’ was published in 1980 by Hamish Hamilton. She has since been published by Jonathan Cape, Random House and Harper Collins with numerous worldwide editions and language translations.
Working freelance for many years as an art lecturer in London and Dorset, she has regularly exhibited her paintings, travel inspiring much of her work, her books focusing on conservation and environmental issues.
Deborah moved to Cornwall in 1998 and is now living and working in Boscastle. In the last few years she has published two works, KERNOW A Land Apart and CHOUGH PALORES (with full Cornish version by Donald R. Rawe.)
‘It is given to few artists to be master or mistress also of words; and very few writers to be truly original artists. In Deborah King we appear to have an almost unique marriage of the two. Her technical ability is at times, breathtaking in its beauty and intensity.’
KERNOW A Land ApartCornish World
‘The visuals are complemented with verses, imagist in form, that are akin to verbal plumes, feathers of inspiration, compact, vivid and pertinent.’
CHOUGH PALORESWestern Morning News
‘ Working from the landscape is a multi-layered process, a journey of discovery, an excavation. It is about being still, being able to see beyond recognition, beyond the familiar beauty and structure.
Beneath the surface, lie centuries of myth and memory, the ancient messages that connect us to the heart and soul of a place. And Boscastle, with its Iron Age fort, Celtic stitches and Medieval harbour has a long and colourful history.
Governed only by the elements, by the swings of ocean tide, it communicates at the deepest level, challenging the imagination, drawing us back again and again.’ D.K
