Her Art Talks

Most artists are defined by a signature style—a visual fingerprint that makes them instantly recognizable. Modigliani’s portraits, for example, all bear his unique mark.

Debra takes a radically different path. Guided entirely by her subject rather than a formula, she shifts effortlessly from color-packed whimsy and cubist abstraction to folk-artsy florals. She surrenders herself completely to the creative act, making each piece so unique that you might wonder if a different artist held the brush. It may make her work harder to market, but it is infinitely more exciting, surprising, and fresh.

In film, we see this rare kind of shape-shifting mastery in a director like Ang Lee, whose genius spans radically different worlds—from The Ice Storm and Sense and Sensibility to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain.

I am in that same awe of Debbie’s vast artistry. Driven by an insatiable creative drive and pure delight, she offers an expansive feast—and if you ask, she serves up a full plate.

Debra Talks

I LOVE creating a happy and comfortable environment, making people happy, Cirque de Soleil, dark chocolate, passion, laughter, teaching, learning, inventing, how to find that special something that a person I know really wants; How I can create something that makes someone feel such joy. I love meeting people.

I have an intense interest in inventing new ways to express myself with brushes and paint, with papers and foils, with micas and resins.

When I create something happens, its like hum, a wave coming from me, without barriers and limits or constrictions, and this feeling happens quite often to most creators….we communicate in all sorts of ways and not be repetitive. Each piece is a new moment in time for me to capture the emotion.

I am passionate about texture and one-sided about color combinations. I am definite about what I love. I know about war, famine, poverty, suffering, and failure in people’s lives. We see it all the time, so why put it in my art.   I know that the lives of people are sometimes complex, yet I also know that life is in fact so simple!

I create from my heart in an effort to bring comfort to you and the World.
