CCC August Artist-in-Residence Debra Quinn

Debra grew up in Tennessee on the outskirts of Nashville. She knew she wanted to be an artist from an early age. She has always been exposed to her family's love for art. She earned a BFA degree in printmaking and illustration at Memphis College of Art. Upon graduating, she moved to Denver, Colorado and began establishing herself as an artist. Her early work focused on iconographic imagery, while exploring mediums and combining them to create something new. Her paintings and sculptures appeared in many galleries throughout the Denver/Boulder metro area. She began using new mixed media techniques in her portraits and landscapes to best express what she saw in the world. She continues to explore mediums even now as she begins learning the techniques of ceramics to further her artistic boundaries.
