As a young artist Deborah’s work was primarily portraiture, and she began doing commission work when she lived on the East coast in the 1980’s. “I love portraiture to this day–there is a simple truth to the old adage, ‘the eyes have it.'”  It was in the hill country around 2006 that she began doing gallery work and became known for Native American Indians, horses, and longhorn in many Texas galleries. However, she prefers not to be simply defined as a contemporary Western artist. Many of theses works reach beyond such categorization by featuring bold brushstrokes, colorful patterns and a certain depth of luminosity. More recently I have returned to the impressionist landscapes which I studied in the early 2000’s with a teacher from the school of Hawthorne. This style – done with a palette knife – really allows me to express my love as a colorist.
