July Featured Artist - Debbie Robinson

Whether sketching and painting on location or working in the studio, Debbie finds endless inspiration in the natural world. Her sketches are thoughtfully rendered with pen and watercolor. Her paintings are created with soft pastel, which she can work directly and spontaneously, embracing the medium’s color and expressive possibilities. Each painting is an exploration of light, atmosphere, and the quiet beauty of the landscape.

Raised in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Debbie has always been drawn to creative expression. Her artistic journey began with fabric, quilting, and vintage textiles. With more than 45 years of retail experience, she developed her creativity through visual display design. Throughout the years, she has continued to pursue art education, studying with professional artists whose work she has admired.

Debbie is a member of Pastel Artists of Oregon and the Northwest Pastel Society. She has received awards in numerous exhibitions and is included in private collections. Debbie remains committed to exploring new places, refining her techniques, and deepening her artistic voice through every painting she creates.
