Isn’t it odd that even though the lyrics to John Lennon’s song IMAGINE were written in 1971, they are still timeless today? Those words still ring true even though they were written 46 years ago! Rolling Stone‘s David Fricke commented: “[Lennon] calls for a unity and equality built upon the complete elimination of modern social order: geopolitical borders, organized religion, [and] economic class.”
The idea for this painting came to me as I wondered what he might be thinking, if he were here today, seeing all this craziness in the world. That is why there are all the paint splatters and drips, I wanted to give this piece a frenetic kind of emotion, but beneath it all - there is calm....
John Lennon was such a visionary. I miss him... Gone too soon...

Hi, I’m Deb,
In school, I was that quirky kid who was always drawing during English Literature class, or backstage painting sets for the Drama Department.
At the top of my “career,” I was an artist for notable clients Nestle, Warner Brothers, and the Dali Museum. But I was not happy with the corporate hustle. So, I picked up woodturning, which eventually led me full circle back to painting.
You will find me in my studio working with acrylics, oils, ink, and spray paint. My tools are oftentimes things like sponges, flowers, branches, and squeegees. I tend to break many of the rules that I was taught in art. But the hardest thing for me to learn was how to step out of my own way and let creativity flow.
My art reflects my scattered mind —inspired by life, nature, the universe and sometimes even the beat of my playlist. It is extremely difficult for me to stay on script—my ADHD ensures that. Luckily, I find peace and calm in painting.
Art is a reminder for us to honor our authentic selves in a world that often tries to box us in.
