Artist’s Statement

My birthday is March 12th. I grew up with my parents. I have a sister. I went to Niles High School and graduated.

I like animals. I like dogs. I miss Denise’s dog. I like to draw circles, flags and animals. I like butterflies. I like boats. I like them in the water. Designs, lines, flowers, babydolls, houses, rainbows, people, apples, candy canes, Christmas, holidays, basketball. Flowers grow from seeds.

Art is cool! When I make art I use all kinds of things: paint marker on window, paint on windows. I did a collage with paper on the windows. Paper mache. Collage that I draw on with black marker. Sculpture, I use wooden boxes and glue. Also I do sewing and photography.

My family looks at my pictures – they say “That’s Debbie’s!”. I like to dance. CD’s are great. Cowboy CD’s. Art makes me feel good. I like to come to the studio. I like to be on the website and in shows and in photos. I like to show people my art.

I’m inspired by being. By Grandma and Denise, people in the studio, different shapes, [by my]collections of newspaper pictures and articles about Arts of Life, insects and spiders, holidays. That’s it.

I like to go to Starbucks and downtown. I like Nick and Ryan. I like hot chocolate, Bobby, Barbara, Christine, Jeanette, and Ronnie. I like pictures and singing like at February’s awards show. I miss Mom.
