Deborah Cocks is regarded as one of Australia’s foremost exponents of reverse glass painting. Drawing on a long tradition of European painted glass, Deborah’s work provides a witty narrative of Australian rural life where vermin and pestilence co-exist with the fertility of native flora and fauna. Autobiographical elements fused with found imagery and creatures, both strange and familiar, co-habit her objects alluding to enigmatic only partially revealed meaning. Deborah studied art history at the Australian National University, Canberra and completed post graduate studies in glass at Sydney College of Art. She was in 1995 the inaugural recipient of the Ranamok Glass Prize for Contemporary Glass Art. Deborah has been a visiting lecturer in Australia, Japan and the UK. Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Europe, United States and Asia and is represented in many notable public collections worldwide.
