With their two Daughters Jen and Jamie, they traveled for 21 years all over the United States as well as Italy, England, Germany, and Egypt.
When asked what medium she paints in the response is usually “I paint just about anything and everything on just about anything and everything” Deb would say that Acrylics is near and dear to her heart as well as the use of an Airbrush.
While in High School she attended Kent County Vocational Technical School where she studied Commercial Arts. She also attended two Airbrush seminars, one in 1995 in New York and the other 2010 in Las Vegas. For the most part Deborah would be considered a Self Taught Artist.
