Deborah wasn't always an artist. She had art in high school, but didn't think she could make a living at it, so she went into the video business. Around the age of 50, as she recovered from a jaw surgery, her mother gave her magazines to keep her occupied. Thinking that they were colorful, Deborah began to make collages. Today, you can find her at festivals, galleries, and online. She lives in Akron, Ohio with her husband, dog, and a very old cat.
