Artist Statement:

I returned to painting plein air In 2016, but later, transitioned to a non-representational practice with Cold Wax and oil. Cold wax is an intuitive process working with multiple applications and/or removal of paint. Paint is usually applied with squeegees and palette knives with only seldom use of a  brush. My recent cold wax paintings are on cradle board and often mimic landscapes of solitude. My favorite artists are post modern abstract expressionists; Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko and Gerhardt RIchter,

 

Artist Bio: After receiving a BFA in printmaking from Penn State University, I made a career as an illustrator and information graphic designer for the Boston Globe. During this time I co-founded a local art exhibition at the Charlestown Navy Yard for Charlestown artists. Post college education includes graphic design, typography, photography and illustration. Deb has exhibited her abstract and non-representational work in numerous shows in the Boston area, including Concord Art Association, The Copley Society and Newton Art Association. Besides Galatea FIne Art, she is an active member of The Copley Society of Art and registrar and webmaster for Newton Open Studios, a yearly open studios art fair in Newton, Massachusetts.
