Biographical Information
of Debra Beck Lennox

My latest work explores the vibrant use of pure colors & composition to express an intangible quality of a place. Light, color and form combine to push the figurative subject into the realm of dreams, capturing a moment in the frenzied pace of modern life.

Taking walks along the beach, looking at the Pacific Ocean, breathing the clean salty air and enjoying the changing “treasures” that magically appear every day are the inspirations for these new works.

Debra is an architect as well as an artist. She has lived on the Mendocino coast for half of her life and currently lives in Comptche, California. She travels frequently to many inspirational places all over the world, with her sketchbook and camera, looking for the next image to imprint on her mind’s eye.
