Deb, her husband, and various furry and feathered friends have made a recent move across the country from New England to the beautiful Land Of Enchantment, sunny New Mexico. There is so much to see and to paint! Now that boxes are (finally!) unpacked, Deb is busy in the studio and hiking around with her new Soltek easel, capturing the landscape en plein air...
 

Deb is a professional artist working both in the studio and en plein air, she works, with rare exception, “from life”.  Deb’s works, particularly her still life paintings, are recognized for their “chiaroscuro” style of dramatic light and dark.

Deb’s primary focus in painting is this light, no matter what the subject matter.   Every painting is a new opportunity to see and paint with increased understanding and sensitivity to the nuances of light - how it flows over objects and how it changes our perception of them. It is a journey filled with both challenges and great joy. 

Her work is found in private collections both here in the region and across the country. She exhibits locally as well as in national shows, has had both group and solo exhibits, and a painting even found its way onto the cover of a children’s school textbook!  While the term “award-winning artist” seems to be over used these days, Deb has been given recognition in several venues.
