Born in England, Debbie Travis transformed her early training at Art College and a career as a fashion model into television production. She married and moved to Canada at 30, started a paint and design business and became a leader in the paint and decorating business in North America. Her special talent for design coupled with her dry British wit made her a beloved television icon around the world.
In 1995, Travis created one of North America’s first decorating shows, "Debbie Travis’ Painted House." This successful series was followed by "Debbie Travis’ Facelift," "From the Ground Up" and "All for One." She has made guest appearances on Oprah, Regis and Kelly, Marilyn Denis, Good Morning America and many more.
Based on her television series, Debbie has authored 8 books on design and decorating, followed by "Not Guilty," which shares her mostly comical experiences and advice on being a working mom.
Widening her sphere of influence, Travis came to a crossroads in her life and moved in another direction. Recognizing the need to revitalize her life, she transformed a centuries-old Tuscan farmhouse and 100-acre property and created a series of weeklong getaways where like-minded women can come to refresh their lives. Her book, "Design Your Next Chapter: How to Realize Your Dreams and Reinvent Your Life," draws from ten years of these retreats and acts as a guide to women who ask themselves what comes next.
Travis' working farm produces an exceptional organic olive oil and lavender products. She continues to build her brand with her stunning collection of Tuscan-inspired jewelry, home décor products, delicious wines and more. Her tips and sources for great design and decorating appear weekly in House to Home, her syndicated newspaper columns.
