Debbie has lived in Georgia for 20 years and enjoys painting mostly landscapes and floral designs. She is also intrigued with painting birds. She usually uses acrylic paint and once in a while watercolor.

"Creating beauty all around me is my life’s mission. Since I was a little girl, I’ve loved seeing the magnificent colors God created in nature.  Through watercolor and acrylic paint, I try to inspire happiness and a feeling of coming home in every piece. After all, there’s no place like home…. Right? I’m a local southern woman with roots from Ireland, Scotland and Portugal. My husband teases me about having a Gypsy’s spirit when creating beauty to share with others. My intent is to wrap my clients with colors of the heart and soul."

"Art . . .  freedom, creativity and courage all splashed together on life's canvas. Expression, emotion and imagination where the heart, art spirit, body and mediums infuse together creating reflections of life."

Trish's goal is to successfully communicate and evoke a feeling or memory through a painting or drawing. Her passion for art comes from her childhood, always observing nature, people and the colorful palette of life’s experiences. Always striving to learn and explore, she is grateful for the everyday beauty that surrounds us and privileged to be able to share a journey through a mind’s eye of life.

Her motto:

"Art is Life… Live it, Love it, Paint it!"
