About Debra Corbett:
Debra Corbett is a full-time artist who considers her work a job as well as a joy. She maintains an active home studio where she produces paintings with a unique surface quality using acrylics, gel mediums, plaster and powdered pigments. Her tools range from brushes to plastic strips to palette knives.
Debra is constantly exploring new visual possibilities and the process is as exciting as the finished result. Although her work is abstract in nature she strives for some order and balance in a spontaneous composition. There is a mystery created and the viewer has a true emotional response to her work that invites them to linger for awhile.
Debra is very active in her local arts community and has for the past seven years co-chaired a successful arts festival. She is represented in galleries in New Mexico, San Francisco, the Boston area as well as many private collections all over the country.
