Nature, animal, portrait artist, muralist, and book illustrator, Debra works full-time in the art field. She is a natural from the start, taking a crayon in hand by the age of three. "Drawing has been my lifelong love," she says. "My main emphasis is on painting nature. Its beauty and power, along with a rainbow of colors enchant me." As she swooshes rich buttery oil paints onto her scene, she feels energized. As her work evolves to the next level, she gets inspired. "Drawing is about creating. It's about bringing something to life. It's about drawing from deep within my soul, my true self," she says. more
