Deborah Whitt born in 1975 raised in the small desert town of Twentynine Palms California. She started drawing at a very early age. Self motivated and creative by nature, Deb is a self taught portrait artist. Although Deborah has used various mediums, most of her work is in Charcoal and Oil.
Currently Deborah is showing art at the KCA Gallery in Kingman Arizona. Also you can find her work around the Vegas Art community in group shows such as Las Vegas Artist Guilds Time Machine Juried Exhibition where “Girl in the Clouds” received 3rd place, as well as “Pour me a Glass” and “Light my Fire” landed her as a Top Ten finalist out of hundreds of submissions at the 2023 Made in Vegas Competition Park West Gallery. Deborah's recent solo show, "The Life Works of Deborah Whitt" displayed 29 years of original artwork.
Deborah now works out of her desert studio. Inspired by her love of the Vintage West and Traditional American Art. She is inspired by the beauty of the desert, and the beautiful faces of all the different cultures that call America home.
Words from the Artist....
"For 29 years I’ve studied the human figure in Charcoal, and oil. I enjoy the rough texture of charcoal, and the flow of oils.
"Currently you can find me in my studio. Lived in the desert my whole life. The breeze. The quiet. The smell when it rains. I’ll never forget my first drive out onto the Eldorado Lakebed. The cracked earth ever changing. Anyone who says the desert is ugly hasn’t experienced its ever changing beauty!
