She became a nurse, worked at the hospital and raised a family. But she kept painting. Over time, she became better at realism and honed her unique style of self-taught painting. Deb enjoys painting things from her small town community which she calls Small Town America. Her scenes are usually nothing special, everyday in small towns, but Deb sees beauty there and shows it to the rest of the world in her painting. She also enjoys teaching and has started many artists on their own lifelong journey. Enjoy your art and, if you want to improve your painting, check her websites because she's happy to help.
