Deborah Garber picked up her first piece of chalk as a young child and never let go. The lush woodlands, towering oaks and rolling hills of her native Illinois were the sparks that ignited her love of nature in all its moods and forms. Pastel is her primary medium, its portability and simplicity well suited to her love of travel. Seeking a new challenge, she has recently branched out into oil painting, and alternates between the two mediums. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design where she studied printmaking and illustration, Garber sought experience in life and art in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For five years she lived out of a suitcase, toting a Spartan assortment of pastels. She stayed in city or village just long enough to absorb the spirit of place through the local language, customs and landscape, supporting herself through political cartooning, courtroom illustration, window design and translation. Upon her return to the United States, Garber continued to build an extensive body of work and an artistic reputation through competitions, exhibitions and gallery representation. Her pastels, oils and prints are included in the collections of numerous private individuals, museums and corporations.
