Debra Van Tuinen
Artist Info
"My art is my life - all that I experience and see becomes part of my work. How I respond physically, spiritually and intellectually to my environment is the essence(the spirit) of my work." -- Debra Van TuinenWorking in media as diverse as paintings on canvas and clayboard, etchings, monotypes, Japanese woodblock prints and tile, Van Tuinen translates the landscape around her into vibrant impressions of color, texture and memory. Seeking nature's inspiring vistas has drawn Van Tuinen to inland and coastal western Washington, eastern Washington, Idaho, the Oregon and California coasts, Monet's gardens at Giverney, and the islands of Fiji, particularly Tomberu Island. Van Tuinen is especially aware of the constant subtle changes in a landscape, of sky and clouds and reflection. Her intuitive response to those experiences have the effect of evoking thoughts and emotions in the viewer, recalling their own memories from the past, of places that have inspired them. http://vantuinenfineart.com
