Onward: Debby Spertus
For about 5 years Debby and I painted together
with her business: Signature Mural and Finish, Inc. We were happily in the swing of things until January 2011 when the universe abruptly changed and I ended up back and forth from New Zealand for a few years. Debby and I have kept in touch over the last few rather intense years, and we’re both headed in new and interesting directions.
Debby continued to paint murals and faux finishes for another couple of years before closing Signature Mural and Finish, Inc. Now she is back into Art, the Studio Art variety, and all excited about two particular processes:
Alcohol Ink:
Wild and spontaneous bright color. A very “in the moment”, and process-oriented medium. So different from the planned and meticulous approach of the woman I used to work with! (Who can draw like a camera). Much cool. I am her #1 first-sale-buyer, too, so there.
Debby will have a booth at the Edgewater Art Fair, coming up soon:
Sept. 26-27, 2015 | 11am-6pm | 1030-1140 W. Granville Ave

Reverse Glass Gilding:
Debby has always been a magpie. “Shiny thing - take back to nest”. Now she is producing luscious gilded platters & bowls. She even has a piece in the permanent collection of The Museum of Gilding Arts.
