Deborah Knox: Biography

Indigenous artist,

My name is Deborah Knox. I was born in Dalby Queensland in 1958. I'm of the Kamilaroi Tribe. I've recently returned to Boggabilla after spending nearly twenty years in Tamworth which is also in the Kamilaroi region. I started working at Euraba in September 2005 making paper which I love. But as the weeks went by I started to experiment with pulp painting and sold my first painting at Art Sydney '06 which was an experience I'll never forget. My other love at the mill is bookbinding.

Since Deborah Knox started working with Euraba she has proved to be a highly skilled papermaker and is an enthusiastic promoter of the company. She has been carefully developing her own unique style in pulp painting and is very passionate about the ideas she portrays through her work. She has had work in Art Sydney 2006; the Affordable Art Fair, Sydney NSW; Euraba Paper, Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, NSW; Double Bushbinding and The Depot Gallery and Danks Street Depot, NSW (touring internationally).
