I did not know that Deb had passed, and I accidently came across this page. I was shocked! I have several of Deb's paintings. She is an inspiration to me in my painting endeavors. She will be forever missed.

I had hoped to see and reminisce with Deb again. We had many fun times together and I always loved her spirit. I admired her seemingly nomadic, artistic-like life. My prayers go out to her family and friends. With love, Beth B
