Artist Statement:

After a career in Graphic design, I returned to painting In 2016, and quickly transitioned to the non-representational practice of cold wax and oil. Painting in cold wax is an intuitive process adding multiple applications and/or removal of paint. Paint is usually applied with squeegees and palette knives with only seldom use of a brush. My latest cold wax paintings on cradle  board present landscapes suspended in stillness, isolated terrains shaped by the undercurrent of change. My work is informed by artists such as Wolf Kahn, Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko, and Gerhard 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. Attending Jerry MacLaughlin's worshop in the beautiful town of San Miguel Mexico in 2023 was a career highlight.

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, I am 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.
