Last week Deborah visited the Wrightsville Beach school to talk with the children. Her visit prompted an article and letter to the editor in the local Lumina News. You can read the article here (pdf)

Deborah has been writing spiritual and encouraging essays on a new site, http://considertheblessings.com. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Today we are launching a whole new idea—“Looking Closer”. I am very excited with this new way to show you what I do. Looking Closer is a weekly video cast where I talk about a piece of my artwork. You can also subscribe for free to the Looking Closer Podcast on iTunes. In each video I do my best to give you some insight into what a particular work of art means to me, and why I paint what I paint. They are short little slices of my life and work. I hope you will enjoy them.

Click to watch Episode One, a video look at a whole new medium—torn paper mosaic. Torn paper mosaic is an evolution from collage which I have done a little of here and there. The torn paper pieces have no paint at all—only paper torn from magazine pages. And, they are deconstructed in a way I really find pleasing. Take a closer look and see what you think.
