Deb Huff is an artist and illustrator based in Perth, known for her character-rich drawings that bring heritage buildings and their hidden stories to life. Her work blends illustration with research and storytelling, capturing the personality, quirks and layered histories of places that might otherwise be overlooked. Deb’s illustrations have appeared in public art installations across Australia, including the lightboxes of Lightbox Lane in Albury (NSW) and Yagan Square’s digital tower in Perth, as well as group exhibitions with Brunswick Street Gallery and Red Gallery (Melbourne), and The Side Gallery (Brisbane). In 2024, she held her first solo exhibition, Building Nostalgia, in partnership with Temp Gallery at the historic London Court in Perth.
