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.
