Deborah Piasner

Deborah finds joy by being inspired to oil paint whimsical still life, plein air landscapes, and figurative works of people and animals. she enjoys that spark of inspiration which amuses and delights her to create. she challenges herself continually to reach the extent of her skills.

She also won awards for her portraits, and her still life paintings have been accepted into additional juried art shows. Occasionally her oil paintings have been featured on covers such as "Haciendas" the 2011 Santa Fe Home Builders Association magazine. Deborah has been oil painting since 2000, after relocating with her family from California to Santa Fe, NM.
