She began as a biochemical engineer but never gave up on her dream of one day becoming an artist. Since her career change, Debra has become an award-winning member of many prestigious artist organizations and recently she became the recipient of the 2022 Best of Show George Gray Award with the Coast Guard Art Program. This then led to her being invited onto an artist's residency out at sea. On this episode, we discussed her transition from engineer to artist, the importance of focusing on creating beautiful work that touches people's souls, the benefits of joining artist's clubs and organizations, and to not be afraid to "just do it".
