Debra Van Tuinen... "My art is my life - all that I experience and see becomes part of my work. How I respond physically, spiritually and intellectually to my environment is the essence (the spirit) of my work."

Debra Van Tuinen is an artist who is making things more beautiful. Her work consists of delightful contemplations of a twilight feel... The work evokes a tone ranging from Whistler to Rothko, and it acts to invite our contemplation and meditation. Gold leaf is evocative as twilight sun, as precious as gold. In general it makes the rest of the painting look poor. Debra's 'Old Growth/New Life' is the most successful application of this technique I have ever seen. She has accomplished a miracle."
