Debra is the Board Chairman and a Signature member of the American Impressionist Society, a Master Signature member of Plein Air Artists Colorado, a Signature member of Oil Painters of America, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and American Plains Artists. Debra’s ability to render emotion, mood and to capture the spirit of her subjects draws collectors worldwide to her work. “Painting is such a spiritual experience for me. Nothing inspires me more than being out on location, capturing the subtle nuances of color, light and atmosphere that can only be achieved by painting from nature. When I find a subject that triggers a strong emotional response in me, I know that’s what I have to paint. My greatest satisfaction is when the viewer has that same emotional response I did. ”
Debra is also well known for her portrait work. Her most visible portrait commission to date hangs at Omaha’s Holland Performing Arts Center…a 4x6 foot portrait of Richard and Mary Holland, commissioned by Omaha Performing Arts.
