“Borrego Blooms” by Debra Ferries
acrylic, 30” x 24”

Debra Ferries is an Eau Claire artist who believes art exists within nature and seeks new ways to express the beauty of the natural world through color, line, and texture.

“My paintings are an expression of my relationship with nature. I have always found inspiration in the beauty and chaos found in the natural world. I find myself drawn to the organic forms found in nature and often choose to paint with a vibrant color palette. I work with acrylic, oil, watercolor, and ink, in addition to a variety of materials to create unique patterns and textures. Some of the paintings I have completed have been done so without ever putting a brush to canvas, but have been created using the various materials, pouring the paint, and sometimes through a blowing technique which can allow the paint to be spontaneous and free-flowing.” – The Artist
