Born in Brandon Manitoba, Debby has painted in Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Ontario-enjoying the wonderful range of scenery Canada has to offer
us in
natural beauty... She began painting 1970 in "the Land of the Mighty
Peace"( northern Alberta), where she took several oil painting classes
and then taught
some for beginners. Soon her work began to sell with consistency.
In 1975, she showed at the" All Peace Arts Festival".There the Alberta Art
Foundation
selected a piece of her art for their review. Living all across
the country - painting as she went- with more experiences and perseverance
enriching her work...
"An artist has the amazing opportunity to take people
places they may never go, to see things they may never see! "... she says.
During the celebrated visit
of the Giant Pandas to Calgary during the Olympics,"
PANDA MOON/PANDA FUN PRINTS" were well received,selling over 700
images. Her work has been
purchased by Greyhound Canada, Canada
3000 , WestjetAirlines ,Travelodge Hotels, The Bay, Eatons, and can be
found in collections across North America, Japan
and Europe. Paul Henderson,
of Team Canada Hockey fame, owns one of her earlier paintings. Three
of her images were chosen for Canadian art Christmas
cards. The first
card-WINTER IN THE COUNTRY, sold 50 thousand images! (-It is now a Print
in this online Gallery). Acrylics being her favourite medium, she
paints
with realism, yet not a "photographic" detail, leaving room for her own
inspiration and emotional response to a scene. Agreeing strongly with
Emerson's"BEAUTY IS GOD'S HANDWRITING"statement,she shows
much respect both for the subject she paints, and its Original Creator..Enjoy
