Debbie Andrews has lived in Redding, CA for over thirty years. She has
been married to her husband, Mike, for twenty-eight years and they
have two sons, Bryce 21 and Tristan 20.
Debbie has been painting consistently since 2009. She took watercolor
classes at Shasta College. She has taken part in many workshops and
had instruction from artist’s such as Ken Hosmer, Jeannie Vodden,
Fealing Lin, and many others. “Every time I take a workshop, I learn
something valuable; each Artist has a different technique or creative
idea to share.”
She looks for subjects that tell a story and have a unique composition.
Her paintings are rich with color, movement, and emotion. When
painting a non representational art piece, she always begins with color
choices and placement. Her environment is equally as rich with beautiful
music and she loses herself in the painting.
Debbie feels art is a gift from God. She knows she is blessed to have a
way to express herself creatively and is grateful for the special people in
her life who have been supportive and inspirational.
She passes on this advice:
“Don’t be afraid to try something new and stop telling yourself that you
can’t or that you aren’t gifted. You will be surprised....open the gift!”
