Debora's interest in art began when she was very young. Her early childhood is one of fond memories. Growing up in the country. Her parents owned a small farm with twenty one acres, and she had the freedom to explore the nature that surrounded.
Debora's interest in drawing came from a deep love of horses and the outdoors. She started horseback riding at age eight and owned her first horse (a Morgan) at age eleven. At that time Debora says she also had an obsession with drawing horses. It would help build the skills she still uses today.
Presently Debora lives with her husband in rural New York near the foothills of the Adirondacks. "I am a self-taught artist that truly has been given a gift from my creator. I try to capture God's natural beauty in all my paintings. "
Through the years she has painted on many surfaces; canvas, wood, slate, saws, and sea shells. However her earliest recollection is painting on a tree mushroom, "that was my first canvas". Now Debora has returned to that surface for much of her work. "I have found the irregularities of the fungus add dimension and life to my paintings."
