About the Artist

Deb Oldfield

I am drawn to expressive florals, rich textures, and the joy of mark-making.  Working in watercolour, acrylics, oil and ink, I create work that reflects the vibrant energy of the natural world and the quiet magic of everyday beauty.

Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. As a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) and Certified Life Coach, I believe in the power of creativity as a path to well-being, self-discovery, and joy. 

While my roots are in activism and community organizing, I now channel that same spirit of connection and purpose through my creative work. I'm currently Vice President and Event Coordinator for the Oshawa Art Association and a proud supporter of local arts and food justice initiatives.

Art, for me, is both a personal sanctuary and a way to invite others into creative connection. Whether teaching, painting, or facilitating, I aim to create spaces where people feel encouraged to slow down, explore, and reconnect—with themselves and the world around them.
