Debra Salopek

Born in California and raised in Mexico, Debra received her BFA from the University of New Mexico in printmaking and drawing, ultimately making the American Southwest her primary home. Debra worked as a fine art printmaker in Los Angeles, CA, collaborating with artists such as Alex Katz, Robert Mangold, Silvia Plimack Mangold, Robert Therrien and others, before dedicating full time to her studio with a focus on painting and work on paper.  She has exhibited nationally with work in corporate collections and museums.

Deborah’s work is a reductive distillation of light, atmosphere and form; it involves the study of the ephemeral quality of light and the texture of atmosphere in the landscape. Her work holds an unwavering commitment to the horizon line which functions as a compass, as much internal as external.
