Piece description from the artist
I have been hand-coloring photos for ages, and I wanted to merge my painting style with my photography. I printed this underwater photograph onto canvas and then painted the canvas, creating a unique mixed media work.
The pearlescent and metallics in the blues and gold are really amazing in the light. This piece looks very much like an abstract painting until the viewer looks closer and sees the gentle slope of an eye of one of the fishes. The base photograph is "Abstract (Blue)".

Deb grew up with cameras, films, and other photography accouterments being as normal to her as baseballs or dolls were to other kids. She learned to take what was there, what was real — the light, the dark, the mood, the balance, the air — and translate it through the lens. Having a deep affinity for water, she merged these two passions and began creating underwater work. In the water, everything that we know goes away — noise, gravity, perceptions — there is tremendous peace and it allows Deb to create visual enigmas that calm rather than confuse.
Even with this devout love of photography, Deb had always worked in other media, forging more than just images, rather pieces that seem to morph. That which we actually see is an interpretation — the viewer’s — and that changes with each person, lighting, environment, and more.
