Bio Debra Keirce
Originally from Detroit, Debra Keirce is an accomplished fine artist. In her Northern Virginia studios, she paints in oils and draws in charcoal, up to four feet tall, with a specialty in true miniature pieces as small as your palm. Debra has earned several honors in acclaimed art circles. She is proud to be a US coast guard artist, and winner of the 2022 George Gray award. She is the recipient of a rare artist residency at sea with crew on the U.S. National Security Cutter Stone. Also, eleven of her paintings were commissioned and are hanging prominently in the newly remodeled Boston Langham 5 star hotel. Debra is an Art Renewal Center Associate Living Master, (ARCLM).
Debra had a career as a biochemical design engineer in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Her project management and problem solving skills serve her well in her art career. She has studied painting and drawing with many instructors and programs over the years, but is currently working through the Ani Art Academies curriculum that was created by trompe l’oeil painter Anthony Waichulis. In 2010 she turned her passion for the visual arts into a full time career.
