Debbie Goldsmith is an artist working across painting, drawing, and textile. Rooted in direct observation, her practice explores the emotional and sensory experience of landscape through abstract compositions inspired by shifting weather, light, and seasonal change.

Working primarily in oils on canvas, Goldsmith creates large-scale works through layered brushstrokes, drips, and gestural marks that suggest rather than depict the landscape. Since 2020, she has expanded her practice into hand-tufted textile works, translating the visual language of her paintings into tactile, immersive surfaces made from dead stock Axminster wool.

Goldsmith graduated from Coventry Polytechnic in 1991 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Alongside her studio practice, she has lectured at Stockport College and the University of Salford, worked as a Learning Curator at Tate Liverpool, and collaborated with arts organisations across the North West community art projects.

She lives and works in Cheshire, where her studio is based in a former Victorian railway ticket office, allowing space for the development of ambitious large scale works. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in public and private collections.
