Debbie Pounders
Debbie Pounders, a self taught artist from Tennessee, transforms her visions into immersive works of art that captivate viewers and collectors with their realism and innovation. Each piece begins with her unique process of mentally capturing the subject through her photography and painting in her mind before she even approaches the canvas. It is this pre-visualization that allows her to infuse her creations with emotion and drama, drawing her to compelling scenes marked by powerful expressions and dynamic shapes.
The strength and beauty of horses, particularly the eyes, hold a special fascination for Debbie, steering her artistic journey. Whether her focus is on ballet dancers, portraits, or equestrian subjects, her work transcends mere representation. She starts with a photograph, and it is within this frame that her imagination takes flight, crafting an elaborate and vibrant world around her subjects.
Debbie’s technique is distinctive; she paints on materials such as linen, silk, wood, metal and 24kt gold leaf, using light and drama to bring her subjects to life in remarkable detail. The interplay of realism and creativity defines her art, making it not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant. Her artwork is a testament to her passion and skill inviting viewers to experience the incredible energy and imagination into every piece.
