Over the last few years, Deb has followed that inner voice encouraging her to create. She’s also carved out a space all her own—a converted walk-in closet/art studio! The space may be small, but she has painted canvases as large as 2ftx3ft! “I just take the canvas out for a stroll if I need a more distant view of it.”

Deb’s dedication to creativity led her to invest time in her LUcommunity connections, which have boosted both her confidence and technique. “Artists lead a very solitary life and we forget how much we need that social connection. LU fills that need and gives us the chance to learn from loads of master artists at the same time. We’re not in competition and we’re raising each other’s bar. Where could you ever get that otherwise?”
