Artist Statement
Deborah Czernecky calls Canada her "Big Back Yard". She has had a life long passion for nature, especially it's spirituality and paint. Having traveled widely with her paint box, from western to easter Canada and across the awe-inspiring Canadian North. She has also painted in the USA and further abroad in Europe and Central America. The varied scenery Deborah has encountered has heightened her sense of formation, colours and patterns in the landscape.
Bio
Deborah grew up in an artistic family in the interior of British Columbia developing a life long passion for nature and paint. While primarily an "en plein air" painter, she has produced a diverse body of work ranging from the raw power of the majestic Canadian Rockies to the serenity of an early "Morning Row" in the mist of the lake, (selected by Ducks Unlimited for its 2018 Art Portfolio), from the ghostly aura of medieval Templar chapels to the enthusiastic joy of colourful bicycles in Costa Rica.
