Debra Hood is one of Brisbane's most loved contemporary artists, who, just like the Bluey art team, documents the shapes and colours of Brisbane's urban landscape.

Debra is well know for her portrayal of the Queenslander houses of inner city Brisbane, along with the colours of what she refers to as 'confetti'; Brisbane in spring time when the blossoms of Jacaranda, Poinciana, Pink Trumpet and Golden Penda fall to the ground creating a vibrant carpet of blossoms.

Her artwork has even adorned one of Brisbane's CityCats, the blue and yellow vessel you've seen in Spy Game.

When Airbnb brought the Heeler House to life in Paddington it seemed only natural that Debra put brush to canvas, and recreate Bluey's house once again as a beautiful piece of art.

And Debra had a surprise for us!

We sat down with Debra for a chat about Bluey, Queenslander houses, her work and why she couldn't resist the charm of Bluey's house.

Find out more about Debra and her artwork at her website.
