Deb Bunnell: Relatives and Other Stories

Deb Bunnell paints memories that she associates with strong emotions. Using family photos for reference, she explores her passion for the subject in the way she paints it. “By the time I’ve touched the moment many times over with paint and love, I hope to draw the viewer in with me,” said the artist.

In her art, Bunnell explores light, shadow and color, often using colors that she feels rather than sees. Texture also plays an important role. “I get excited about textures and reflective surfaces,” she said. “Celtic knots and handprints are dear to my heart, but all the technical fun serves to tell the story.”
