Whether setting up her easel outdoors or in her northern Wisconsin studio, Deborah is influenced by a strong sense of place. This importance of place fuels her passion for creating art and inspires her watercolors - from capturing beautiful farms and prairie landscapes to the picturesque lakes and freshwater seas of the Northwoods. 

A lifelong learner, Stull-Kinsley has pursued a variety of art including acrylic painting, pottery, loom weaving and fiber arts. Several years ago, a weekend of "playing with color" in a watercolor class became a defining moment for her, and she continues to delight in this medium. For her, each painting holds an element of joy in the fusing and interacting of the colors.
