Debora Everett
         Wildlife Artist
My interest in art began when I was very youngMy early childhood is one of fond memories. I grew up in the country. My parents owned a small farm with twenty one acres, and I had the freedom to explore the nature that surrounded me.

My interest in drawing came from my love of horses and the outdoors. I started horseback riding at age eight and owned my first horse (a Morgan) at age eleven. At that time I also had an obsession with drawing horses. It would help build the skills that I use today.  

Presently I live with my 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 I have painted on many surfaces; canvas, wood, slate, saws, and sea shells. However my earliest recolection is painting on a tree mushroom, that was my first 'canvas'. Now I have returned to that surface for much of my work. I have found the irregularities of the fungus add dimension and life to my paintings.  

After working full time for a bank for many years, I left to pursue my art as a full time profession. I find this new phase in my life to be more meaningful and fulfilling.
