Artist Statement:
As an artist living in South
Boston, Deb finds a limitless
source for her paintings.
Sunny days and moonlit nights
find her painting on
neighborhood street corners.
When painting outdoors is not
possible, she works in her
studio on larger scale
paintings and works derived
from old family photos or from
small studies and photos of
her on-site locations. Her
approach to painting can be
summed up in a quote of one of
her favorite painters:
The profoundest order is
revealed in what is most
casual.
- Fairfield Porter, 1969
What interests her most about
plein air painting is how
sunlight breaks up form when
it falls on an object . When
working in this manner time is
of the essence. She must
return to the outdoor location
at the same time, each day for
the short period of time when
the sun and shadows are at the
same angle and position. Her
choice of subject matter, such
as old stores, Laundromats and
antique cars pays homage to a
disappearing landscape. She
hopes that with these
paintings she is able to
celebrate these landmarks.
