Deborah’s Artist Statement:

“My abstract art in acrylic, mixed media and oil is often based on music ideas, using color, line and texture not unlike the music itself. Currently my more realistic work is based largely on landscape from both home and travel. I enjoy moving back and forth between realism and imagination.”

About the Artist:

During her life as a freelance cellist, Deborah always felt driven to create visual art. In following that need to create visually, she earned both a Certificate in Computer Graphics from the Corcoran School of Art and a Certificate in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. Deborah was born in Lancaster, PA and received her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in cello performance from Boston University and the University of Maryland, respectively. During her years in the Washington, DC area, she and her cello performed at venues including Wolf Trap, the National Cathedral, the Kennedy Center and Arena Stage. Deb is an enthusiastic U.S. Masters swimmer, enjoys resistance training, and reading and wondering about theology and world religions. She also loves cats, rocks, people and a good espresso.
