Deborah Hosking is a media professional and artist whose career has crossed continents, disciplines and media.  "Ad man" and painter, art director and copywriter, filmmaker and installation artist, she has worked for companies as big and established as Paine Webber and American Express in New York city, and as small and unconventional as Aardvark Design, based in Yung Shue Wan village on Hong Kong’s Lamma Island.

Her commercial career spans eras and disciplines from hand-drawn animation to interactive websites, and runs a gamut from print ads that ran internationally to radio spots that were heard only in a tunnel. 

Agencies she has designed and written for include The Designory; Ogilvy & Mather; Dentsu, Young & Rubicam; Ketchum; J. Walter Thompson; and Bates Hong Kong when it was Agency of the Year in the Asia Pacific region. Her work has won awards for clients including Hong Kong Bank, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway and Oldsmobile.

Her fine art career also spans decades, geography, technologies and media. Her paintings and works on paper have been seen in New York, Hong Kong, Paris and Los Angeles. Digital work, including montages, photography, video and video installations, has been shown in L.A., New York, Prague and, of course, Pittsburgh.  She has awards to her credit in each medium.

Deborah holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from Chatham University.
