About Blue Debbie

I am a painter and mixed-media artist whose work emerges from a tactile, attentive relationship with the natural world. Living with a disability shapes how I move through and perceive my surroundings, fostering both adaptation and quiet reflection. Making art is my therapy, a space for both emotional processing and playful exploration. Guided by poetry, I translate the insights of haiku into color, form, and texture. At its core, my work explores contrast, including light and shadow, love and self-doubt, and harm and resilience. My pieces create a space where imagination and lived experience meet.
