Debbie Wardrope, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, received her education at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California. All of Debbie's paintings are created in pastel. Pastels are Debbie's medium of choice due to the vibrancy of their color and the dramatic lighting effects she can achieve with them. She pushes her pastel work well beyond traditional boundaries with her precise detail. Debbie loves to paint gardens, old architecture, dogs and cats, vineyards and vintage items. She often chooses to paint subjects that others might pass by. She enjoys challenging herself and has recently begun incorporating figures into her repertoire. Debbie's artistic style and use of color, light and shadows evoke memories of a simpler, more peaceful time gone by and invite the viewer to share in these very special moments.
