“Learn to live and live to learn.”
Debbi has always been an artist at heart, though her path to painting was anything but straight. With a B.A. in Fashion Design, she worked as a sportswear designer, freelance textile artist, costumer in the film industry, owner and creator of a hand painted children’s furniture company and partner in a "recycled" clothing design venture before committing fully to painting at age 50.
Studying with Signature Artists from the California Art Club and the Los Angeles Art Academy, she found her passion in painting as meditation, inspired by the landscapes, lifestyle, and friendships that surround her at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains.
With humor, gratitude, and a keen eye for beauty in everyday life, Debbi paints with values that reflect both joy and resilience. She is grateful to those who pause long enough to connect with her work, hoping it offers insight into what motivates her and keeps her painting each day.
