Debra Lohrere grew up in Victoria and was interested in capturing her surrounding on paper from a young age. As a teenager she progressed into putting her art to canvas and began first in acrylics then to oils. She studied at the Alexander Art Gallery in Springvale under Marlene Leary and then Audrey Hinchcliffe painting landscapes and Spanish Galleons. She sold her first painting at the age of 16 and won a Certificate of Achievement at a Youth Art Show at 17.

Still as a teenager her love of architecture began to take shape and she started striving to capture the beauty of many of the lovely historic Australian stonework buildings in her works.

For many years a busy lifestyle meant that she only had time to paint the occasional piece but in recent times she has structured her time and now paints almost every day. She has become bolder in her subject matters and colour schemes and loves to experiement with new themes. She especially loves to capture movement in her paintings and in her landscapes often portrays horses and cows in motion.

She loves to paint pictures which display the beauty of the Australian bush with gum trees and running rivers.

Her genre is somewhere in between realism and impressionism, as she likes her works to look realistic but still like a painting. She says "With art I feel that if someone is after something that looks like a photo that's what they should buy. I like my paintings to be beautiful but look like paintings".

Debra has done commissioned works of people's houses and runs her own online art gallery website. She also displays works at coffee shops and gift shops. Her artworks hand in private collections all around Australia.
