Original Art Created By US Artist

        Perfection.  Is there such a thing?  So why are we always trying so hard to find it in all we do?  I see no reason to paint perfection.  In fact, I adore imperfection.  Beauty in the imperfect.  No one item is the same, everything and everyone different, not perfect but indeed beautiful!

        Imperfection, one of the reasons I love vintage prints and art.  Most images from antique and vintage books come with beautiful little imperfections, I love them.  So you will find a lot of my work based on vintage, retro or antique images, especially my collage work.  

        I also rely heavily on color, value and mark making. I rarely blend and mix on the palette, I prefer to allow the colors to commingle and remain bright on the board or canvas. I constantly push the boundaries of color theory.  Although I do use local color in my work, I try to punctuate it with imaginative, unexpected color choices. Tons of light and darks.  I love to accentuate the shadows and the light.  It creates such drama, much like the chiaroscuro used by the old masters. 

        I hope you like the original art created by US artist, Debi Peters!  Thanks for looking at my work.
