Debbie shows her sweet, gentle nature in her many portraits of animals and people. Working from photographs, she draws and paints with tender specificity and care. When she paints, she uses thickly applied wet paint, resulting in active, pulsing brushstrokes. These brushstrokes unify subject and background, creating harmonious and integrated paintings. Her colored pencil drawings evoke a quieter, lighter feeling. The color is delicate and the compositions tend to be open and spacious. Debbie is also a skilled fiber artist and jewelry maker.
