"I see beauty everywhere I look. It is in every leaf the wind blows, and in the details of each small flower bud growing out of a saguaro cactus. I am so impressed with the colorful Arizona sky at sunset. It has become a passion for me to go out and enjoy. I am a small scale pointillism artist. In the detail of each tiny brush stroke, I take the vast beauty of the desert and bring it to life on a small personal panel. I slowly put my heart and my time into each painting expressing and developing the beauty I see in the various subjects I paint."
About
Debbie Duehring grew up in the small coastal town of Imperial Beach California. This is where she fell in love with Jim Stewart and got married. Together they raised 5 children on the sunny coast. Debbie graduated from University of Phoenix and utilizing her degree she worked at the Defense Logistics Agency for 27 years. She left her job in California and moved to the beautiful deserts of Arizona to pursue her long lost dream of becoming an artist. She was introduced to the Milan Art Institute by a new friend. After taking a few art classes she soon realized she could actually pursue her goal and enrolled in their Mastery Art Program. During these courses she regained her passion and perfected skills as an artist.
She is a small scale pointillist artist that creates beautifully detailed paintings. Debbie paints with an old world technique by utilizing egg tempura which allows her to paint with small brushes to produce tiny detailed strokes. While painting, she takes time to develop the beauty in each stroke. Her process involves using primed wood panels, egg tempura, and detail brushes. Debbie creates the background first and adds layers of color to develop each unique piece. A great deal of time is spent on the slow layering and combining of colors, allowing the tiny details to appear. To complete her artwork, the tempura paint is mixed with egg white to develop a medium that highlights and details finishing touches to the painting. She loves the richness and beauty these small scale pieces express.
Debbie works in her loft over looking the beautiful desert. Since moving to Arizona she has] learned to appreciate the amazing beauty the desert holds. Many of her paintings are desert landscapes and it's wildlife. She has created timeless memories of the peaceful desert to share with a variety of art collectors. Debbie enjoys creating a series of paintings. Her recent series includes a bright lizard hiding among the plants and another one with a roadrunner dashing about. Her future plans include creating a variety of paintings involving larger desert animals while keeping with her small scale wood panels.
