Deborah Paris

Deborah Paris is an American landscape painter. Her moody, tonal paintings reflect an intense, intuitive connection to the natural world and its rhythms. Based on a foundation of intense and close observation, drawing, memory and imagination, and indirect painting techniques, she produces luminous works full of mystery and mood. 

She has been featured in Art of the West, American Painting Video Magazine, American Artist, Southwest Art, The Pastel Journal and Professional Artist Magazine. In December 2004 she was named an Artist to Watch by Southwest Art Magazine. Her work has been shown at the Laguna Art Museum, the Albuquerque Museum of Art, the Panhandle-Plains Museum, the Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, The National Wildlife Museum, and the Gilcrease Museum.

She is the founder of The Landscape Atelier, her teaching studio, and is the author of the popular blogs Deborah Paris - A Painting Life and Field Notes, the blog of The Landscape Atelier.  Her book, Painting the Woods: Nature, Memory and Metaphor, was published in November 2020 by Texas A&M University Press.

Her work is represented by galleries throughout the US. When she isn't painting or teaching, Deborah is an acid walker, birder, naturalist, reader and writer. She lives and works in northeast Texas with her husband, two dogs and two cats.
