Meet Debbie Ratcliffe – BEING Studio’s Artist of the Month for April!✨
Debbie Ratcliffe (also known as the Mother of All Dragons) has been an artist at the studio since 2007. She has a vivid imagination and a deep fascination with dragons, which inspires some of her work.
“I love to make large dragon sculptures with papier-mâché,” she shares. “I also paint colourful images of animals and flowers. I use colours and shapes that don’t belong on things—like rainbow zebras and kaleidoscope flowers. I like to spice things up that way.”
