About Deborah Naves

Deborah Naves My art is inspired from the wonder of nature's elusive uniqueness. I intend to capture the emotion and meaning of that moment in my paintings - the atmosphere of a sunset; storm or a stunning sky. My 'Animals Personified' series recreates a moment in the animal's attitude and humanizes its character. Because I want the art to grab you, I tend to exaggerate the subject by means of composition and color. I often start the background using a palette knife, pushing and scraping the paint around on the canvas or board. The paint is loaded with medium. I then use acrylic paint brush strokes to complete the painting.

Having painted off and on since 2006, I have developed a cross between an impressionistic and expressionistic style using colors to excite the senses. I hope you will enjoy my three main collections of 'Skyscapes, Seascapes and Animals Personified'. I will delight in drenching you with its message and feeling.

As an aside, my art was borne out of being unemployed during the Christmas season. I needed to send gifts to my family in Gloucester, MA.and so I picked up some paints and brushes. It was a strange twist of fate that I started painting in Raleigh, not in my hometown of Gloucester where historic art colonies and famous artists have lived for hundreds of years. Well, I guess adversity can bring the best out of you------- that is if you let it!

I have displayed and sold a number of paintings in North Carolina and New England. All images are owned by Deborah Naves aka Naves Artscapes. The use of any image from this site is prohibited unless prior written permission from the artist is obtained.
