TAOS ART MUSEUM’S MEET THE ARTIST EVENT TO FEATURE WORK BY DEBRA PIEDRAFITA
Debra Piedrafita is a nurse practitioner by profession, but has always enjoyed “playing with art supplies” allowing her to express herself creatively and provide balance for the stressors of her work life. Debra has experimented with a variety of materials through the years, but has only been creating small tiles painted with alcohol ink for in recent. Debra states,“the fluidity and unpredictability of the inks, as well as their intense colors, lend themselves to abstract interpretations of the Southwest landscape.” She has lived in Taos for five years and is grateful to have found a warm and welcoming home for herself and her artwork. Debra plans to discuss the materials used in her work and the various techniques she employs for achieving certain effects.
