Artist - Debbie Adams

This months artwork 'Autumn Wonder', painted by the artist Debbie Adams.

Born in 1960. I am primarily a self-taught artist. I began drawing at an early age but later my career took a different path. Through the years my love of art has always remained an important part of my life. It was nearly 35 years later that I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. But, it was a rough start for I didn’t know where to begin so I just doodled mostly, stick people as I recall. Pretty bad I know. It got better over time as I searched for help online and found websites and blogs that explained how to draw. So with the best of my understanding I would apply the principles taught the best I could. To my surprise I realized over time that not only was I drawing, I had actually developed my own technique. I finally gave into the notion that I actually was an artist after all.

At the end of 2008 Derwent wrote to me to commission two drawing from me for the Paperworld exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany for Jan.2009, that they needed these drawing to be created with their charcoal and graphite products to demonstrate the use of their products,they also had very definite ideas as to what they wanted me to draw for each piece and with which product. I agreed to their request. I drew them a lighthousewinter scene. After the exhibition they decided to use the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse drawing to use on the packaging of their “6 pack of Natural Graphite Sticks” , and listed me as one of Derwent’s artists. I felt so honored, and actually proud of my progress as an artist. It was my little piece of recognition in the world as an artist. It was my special day.
