Hi! I’m Debbie, an artist, illustrator, and surface designer living with my husband, Randy, and a pack of furry friends on a wooded hilltop in Oklahoma. I’ve always had a creative side, but art took a back seat in my thirties as I completed treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and raised my two boys. When I lost my youngest son to suicide in 2015, drawing and taking art classes helped me heal in the wake of unimaginable grief. I’m an artist, but beyond that, my calling is to inspire, encourage, and connect. Life is not always easy, but I’m living proof that faith and an optimistic spirit are a light during the sad and scary times. Bursting with flowers, color, and a dash of whimsy, my art is how I put light and cheer out into the world. Visit my site at www.debbievinyard.com.
