Debbie Gillon - Original Artwork 'The Dragon Fly'
About this item
The Dragon Fly | Debbie Gillon
Watercolour on Paul Ruben 100% Cotton 300gsm Hot Pressed Paper
27cm x 19.5cm | Unframed
A deeply personal and poetic work, ‘The Dragon Fly’ (2026) by Debbie Gillon pairs expressive watercolour with handwritten verse, creating a piece that is as much about storytelling as it is about image.
Painted with fluid washes and delicate linework, the dragonfly emerges in soft, shifting colour — a symbol of change, resilience and transformation. Alongside the artwork sits Gillon’s original poem, written in 2020 while working as a junior doctor in the Emergency Department at Gove District Hospital in Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory during lockdown. It was her first poem — a reflection on presence, transition and finding moments of beauty amidst uncertainty.
The combination of image and text gives this work an intimate, almost journal-like quality, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and reflection. This one-of-a-kind piece that speaks to connection, healing and the quiet power of creativity.
A unique artwork that bridges art and lived experience — ideal for collectors drawn to narrative-driven, meaningful pieces.
Includes delivery anywhere in Australia.
Pairs beautifully with a companion piece, ‘Dragon Flies’, offered as a separate lot in this auction.
