Deborah Grabber
For a person of many interests, years can pass before one or more of those areas begin to develop any depth.
A watercolorist, Deborah Grabber has witnessed some of this in her life. In fact, someone, surprised to see her at an Art Educator's Conference recently, exclaim ed she thinks of her as a botanist and forgot she was an art educator!
Deborah has turned her love of the rustic out-of-doors and her desire to create and communicate through the arts into landscapes of light and color.
She also enjoys playing with shapes and patterns in bold colors.
Though Deborah, with her husband, has called Millinocket, Maine, her home for over 30 years, she grew up and was educated in New York State, receiving a BA in Education with a Minor in Art.
Sensing the need of a more solid art background, Deborah has been an avid reader of art literature and studied under Maine artists, Michael Vermette and Michael Lewis.
She has admired historical master artist Durer, Rembrandt, Michelangelo and J.M.W. Turner, as well as the more contemporary arts of O'Keeffe, Escher, Homer, the Wyeths, and James Fitzgerald.
'Lindies' Flowers is of a variety of the Poeticus Narcissi. I painted these for my sister-in-law. I had rescued the bulbs years ago from an overgrown, wooded roadside, close to where my husband and I lived in a log cabin. I couldn't let someone's long forgotten sense of beauty go silently into the shadows of the forest. Their progeny have graced my yards for many years now.
