Inspired by the natural land and seascapes of Ventura County.
As highlighted by the SCIART (Studio Channel Islands) Art Gallery curator, Peter Tyas: "Deborah's encaustic work shows a mastery of the technique, creating an entire landscape within the surfaces of layered wax. Her pieces are dramatic vistas, deftly created to suggest elemental movements of air and sea while also evoking memories of days spent in reflection."
