A lifelong passion for painting has shaped Deborah's journey as an artist. Mostly self-taught, Deborah decided to deepen her understanding and skills by pursuing a formal education. At the age of 69, she proudly graduated with a B.F.A. in Studio Art from the College of Charleston, marking a significant milestone in her artistic evolution.

Deborah is captivated by the dynamic nature of materials. Whether moving charcoal on paper, guiding oil paint with a brush, or molding clay by hand, the tactile interaction with these mediums is central to their creative process. Unlike traditional planners, Deborah allows the artwork to unfold organically, with each stroke and form directing the next. This spontaneous approach reflects her belief that art is about process, color, form, and the materials themselves.

Influenced by the philosophy that art reveals the unseen, Deborah aims to offer viewers a personal, visceral experience. Inspired by Paul Klee's idea that art makes the invisible visible and Stella's assertion that "what you see is what it is," Deborah invites each viewer to interpret her work uniquely, evoking a range of emotions from joy to discomfort.

Embracing new technologies, Deborah has integrated artificial intelligence into her practice. By feeding hundreds of images of their work into neural networks, they create new interpretations composed of countless fragments from previous pieces. This process embodies chaos and adventure, producing paintings that reflect the unpredictable nature of our world. These works are not meant to convey a specific message but to offer a raw, chaotic experience that mirrors life itself.

Every piece by Deborah is a testament to her artistic philosophy: abandoning preconceived notions of what art should be and allowing each creation to define itself.
