In landscape painting I am drawn to the depth and beauty that can be created in acrylics. Painting is something I was truly created to do; it fills me with joy and excitement to watch each painting unfold and I hope the viewer can sense that in my work. Being an artist makes my soul sing, and I am happiest when I am at my easel.
Originally from Spruce Grove, Deb loved creating art from an early age, drawing and painting. When preparing for university her family didn’t support art as a career, so she instead trained as a commercial pilot. She continued fine arts studies along with her aviation studies in university. She worked as a commercial pilot in northern and western Canada and eventually flew as a missionary pilot in Papua New Guinea. She returned to Canada when her parents became terminally ill and was their caregiver until they passed. Deb continued art as a hobby but in 2014 she attended a workshop “Portraits in Clay”.

Moving from my birthplace, Winnipeg to Edmonton at the age of two, my earliest memories involved drawing. When a Grade 1 classmate told me that I was destined to be an artist, I was heartbroken – I wanted to be an ichthyologist or paleontologist. Yet, throughout the years, it was always art that was my one constant, even when I chose architecture and design to ‘make a living’ and raise my family.
