Description

Debra is a plein air painter from Southern California. She lives in Orange County where she has a studio and a gallery on Balboa Island.

She has been featured in Art of the West, and Plein Air magazine, this year, her paintings will be exhibited in Maui Plein Air, and at the California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition at the Autry Museum.

Debra and I talk about….

• What she teaches her students about simplification and avoiding the overwhelm of complicated subjects.
• How she started her own gallery - admitting what you’re good at and delegating the rest.
• Mistakes artists make when dealing with a gallery.
• The many plein air events she participates in, and how she uses that consistency to move her work.

Do you spend more time thinking about making art than actually making it? Start things you never finish? Make work and then stack it against the wall, facing inward, so you don't have to look at it?

If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to chat.
