Deborah E. Giese
Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Deborah "Debbie" E. Giese. I am a native of Southern California and grew up in Torrance and Rancho Palos Verdes. I attended Rolling Hills High School and graduated magna cum laude with teaching degrees and a master's in psychology from Vanderbilt University. We raised our two children mostly in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. I currently live in Rancho Palos Verdes with my wonderful husband and high school sweetheart, Doug, and our yellow English Lab, Henry. My art studio is a little oasis and is conducive for studio and plein air painting of sunrises, city, harbor, hills and mountains.
My body of work is of familiar scenes and objects which I paint with emotional and visual honesty. I choose subject matter, including landscapes, still life and people, which brings me delight during the painting process and I hope will allow the viewer to peek a little into my soul. I enjoy experimenting using bold strokes, thick paint and painting with the palette knife. I have been influenced by artists such as Cezanne, Monet and Van Gogh and living artists who use bold strokes including Dan Dempwolf.
I have had an interest in art from an early age but, I did not start formal training until after my second child was born in 1990. I have studied and/or taken workshops with Sabastian Capella, Raye Anne Marks, Marileigh Schulte, Peggy Kroll, Jeffrey Watts, Watts Ateliar, Ron Spelman, Pat Beck, Toni Williams, 2nd Street Studio, Joe Garcia, Sandra Brey. I continue to learn and grow by taking workshops, experimenting, and collaborating with my fellow artists and painting buddies. I am a member of the Palos Verdes Art Center, PVAC-The Artists' Studio of Palos Verdes, Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, The California Art Club, and a previous member of the La Jolla Art Association. I have shown my work in various galleries, exhibitions, and community venues. Many of my works are in private homes across the country and internationally. Deborah "Debbie" E. Giese

"Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?"- A Galvanizing Art Challenge
Bondo Wyszsploski, arts writer, recently challenged 35 painters, me included, to go beyond our usual or known style of painting. I received a title created by Bondo from a wheel of fortune-""On Being Taught Ballet by Peter Pan". You can read the evolution of my painting and view all 35 artists' paintings by going to the "Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?" website: https://www.areyouthinkingwhatimthinking.art/
