I discovered I was an artist late in life. My mother was very talented, but never found the time to pick up a brush. I remember telling her that if I had her talent, I would never stop painting. She always said I had talent, I just had to try.
After her death, as if to defy her, I took an oil painting class. I came home and showed my husband the finished painting and said, 'I think I can paint'.
I never looked back. At age 58, I discovered the artist in me.
I like to think of myself as Grandma Moses without the following or the money, but I'm working on both.
The world as I see it, is full of color and I try to reflect that in everything I paint.
Affordable Art For Everyone is the mantra of Own A Debbie. Here, even the most finicky of collectors will easily find the ideal painting for a bare wall in a home or business. And there are lots of styles and prices to choose from. From the high quality giclees you find here on Fine Art America to an original 'Debbie' you'll find something to suit your taste.
I have exhibited in galleries throughout Florida and at Art Prize in Michigan.
