As an artist, Debby Bloom is intrigued by color and what can be amazing results from a simple brush stroke. Bold or delicate, washed or opaque, Bloom's work tends to represent an exaggerated and perhaps quirky view of our natural world. Raised in Northern California and then living in Alaska for many years, her paintings embrace the warm sensibilities of "the beach" and also the cold, wild extremes of the very far North.
