painting style
Debra paints a wide variety of subjects from landscapes and figurative to still life and wildlife. Inspired by her studies with such renowned artists as Kevin Macpherson, Scott Christensen, Kim English, Kenn Backhaus and John Cosby, Debra's main focus is plein air landscape painting in oils. Plein air painting allows her to combine her love of the outdoors, nature and travel with her love of oil painting. Debra works with a limited palette of about five colors plus white. She loves the challenge of capturing the light and atmosphere in her subjects and strives to render mood and emotion in her work.
