Debbie is now well known in artistic circles for her joyful depictions of Tiwi Life in figurative forms. People travelling by cars and canoes of all shapes and sizes to the football. A huge part of contemporary Tiwi Lifestyle.

I am the lucky owner of two of Debbie`s painting. They are a humorous look at the Tiwi people and their love of football. They will forever remind me of Tiwi Islands, their people and the very talented Debbie Coombes.
