Artist Biography
Deb Manning-Webb is a self-taught artist inspired by nature — wildlife, flora, landscapes and treasured places. Her work is rooted in nature, and she creates pieces intended to resonate emotionally and invite reflection and calm. Every piece carries meaning and a story; her aim is to offer thoughtful work that becomes personal and treasured.
Whatever inspiration she is following, Deb's landscape and local wildlife work is intended to bring the calm of nature into your home and share joy-filled glimpses of our natural world.
Deb has sketched and painted since childhood, always drawn to the natural world — whether on her doorstep or the more exotic species most of us only see in documentaries or wildlife parks.
She works mainly in oils and acrylics, and alongside board and canvas also enjoys working on natural materials such as slate and pebbles — sustainable gifts for thoughtful buyers.
Deb also creates "abandoned art": small pebble paintings left around her local area for people to discover by chance. Bringing an unexpected smile to a stranger is one of the most rewarding parts of her practice.
Deb is not a high-throughput brand — it's just her, working to produce quality, sustainable pieces that connect you, and those you're buying gifts for, to nature, pleasant memories and slow living.
To champion local business, she works with a local company for all her art prints, keeping stock levels low to reduce waste and her carbon footprint. Her print and framing collaborators offer reliable, high-quality, affordable work with a usual weekly turnaround — though as a small operation themselves, occasional delays can happen. Deb will always do her best to deliver orders promptly, and will contact you directly if she can't dispatch immediately. For her other products, Deb works with a second small, UK-based print company that consistently delivers high-quality items. She keeps stock levels minimal here too, but can reorder quickly thanks to their efficient turnaround.
