Deborah Tompsett, B.A Fine Art/Sculpture, is a Sussex-based artist whose work encompasses ceramics, sculpture and painting. She is strongly committed to working within her community, collaborating with schools, care homes and inter-generational groups to create works together that reflect the uniqueness of each setting and its participants. Her personal artwork continues this engagement with the world and the people around her, their contribution often extending and enriching the narrative of each piece. She embraces the accidental and experimental in the process of making art and uses the visual and tactile language of texture, colour, and light to explore the idea of 'the poetry of living space'. She is a judge for the Chaiya Art Awards 2020. http://www.deborahtompsett.co.uk/
