Oil & Pastel
About the Artist
Debbi is a contemporary artist working in oil and pastel. Influenced by the natural world, she paints simplified landscapes, breaking down elements into their basic shapes and forms using a variety of palette knife and brush applications. She also paints a range of subjects from still life works to full abstractions.

Master artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, Raimonds Strapans, Henri Matisse and Mark Rothko continue to inspire her works, along with a myriad of current contemporary artists. Whether painting large or small, abstract or representational, she focuses on design, balance, movement, texture, rhythm, contrast, energy, harmony and color.

Reared in Austin, Debbi attended the University of Texas where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in Advertising. After ten years in Chicago and Dallas working as a copywriter/Creative Director in ad agencies, she returned to Austin to write and paint. The last 12+ years, she has been painting regularly, taking workshops from accomplished artists, and exhibiting in local and national juried exhibitions. Professionally, she is currently a Creative Director for the in-house ad agency for Dell Technologies, Dell Blue.
