deb's unique style, which she calls "soft
realism", is a layering of thought, paint and
possibilities. Over the years, her work has evolved from a very tight
realism to a more fluid, painterly expression. The title
artist/illustrator suits her. The old master's Rembrandt, Monet and
others and the illustrators JC
Leyendecker, Willy Pogamy and particularly a dear friend and
teacher Lili Gaydos have been her inspiration. Her drawings are
realistic and fluid with a wide depth of tones. Working in the
traditional mediums of watercolor, pastel, pencil and oil, deb's
work reflects a touch of the old masters combined with her own
vision . Her art is a constant exploration into exciting
combinations of medium, color and glazes. During the 25 years of
her illustration career, she has enjoyed the challenge of a wide
range of projects. The Andi O'Malley series of children's books,
editorial pieces for the New York Times and NY Daily News, a special
cover for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Bruce Springsteen pub
glasses, commemorative stamps of Princess Diana, a portrait of
"Daddy Warbucks" for Broadway and most recently a book titled "A
Dog's Guide to Life: Lessons from Moose" are just few a of the
places where her work has appeared. deb's portrait's are not just
about capturing a likeness but rather finding that special spark of
humanness in paint. Brando at his best in Streetcar Named Desire,
Uncle Sam smiling at being named Man of the Century by US News &
World Report, Senator Al D'Amato trying to look dignified while
telling jokes and a humble, homeless Christ are all subjects she has
explored with her brush.
