Deborah Roskopf has been painting, drawing, and creating since childhood. Born and raised in southern Indiana and inspired and mentored by family and teachers, there was never a question that she would become absorbed into the art world.

 

After graduating from Ball State University, she found success as a graphic designer, an advertising illustrator, trompe l’oeil artist/muralist.

 These experiences led to her establishment of a well-respected design consultancy in the northwest and beyond for over 30 years.

 

With a lifelong passion for drawing, Deborah gravitates toward media that allows her to draw as she works, favoring watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, and the explorative and noncommittal nature of mixed media. She is drawn to portraiture, quiet people in

personal moments, landscapes, as well as the strong graphic and architectural lines of unexpected subject matter, sometimes nonobjective.

 

Deborah’s work has won several awards and is frequently accepted into juried exhibitions.
