This is a stunning piece of original artwork by contemporary artist Debra Stroud. Titled "Fired Earth", the oil on box canvas is presented floated in a contemporary wide black timber frame and is signed bottom right.

Favouring watercolours and oil over any alternative materials, Stroud admits that both offer very different illustrative outlooks to her typical pictorial pieces, and mood plays a huge role in deciding which composition will be forged in what medium at that specific time. She also insists on painting while surrounded with peace an d quiet, that often forgotten and hard to locate commodity, which she says affords her the focus that her paintings demand. To Stroud, painting in the fashion that she does allows her to convey her innermost feelings then and there, at the outset of the visual study, and she hopes that more often than not the overriding graphical expression portrayed comprises hope, warmth, spirit and energy in equal abundance.

Once she had established herself as an artist, in didn’t take long for Stroud to catch the attention of the contemporary art world’s most prominent movers and shakers. And amongst those, and a company with a fine heritage of taking artist’s levels to that next phase, is Washington Green; the fine art publishers who are arguably the most successful of the breed here in the UK. With their commercial clout, full support and enviable network of art galleries throughout the land, Stroud’s work was soon being recognised and celebrated far and wide. In 2005 she was adjudged to be The Fine Art Guild’s ‘Best Up and Coming Artist’, followed a year later by being awarded the title of ‘Best Published Artist’ by the same respected body.
