DEBBY KOONCE

Featured Artist

May 4 - June 12

A painter of landscapes who specializes in the exploration of the uses of light and shadow in oil and acrylic media, Debby Koonce is inspired by vistas, architecture, quaint alleyways, gated compounds and garden settings. Her sense of color and scale and interplay of dark and light are focused to create a feeling of realism that is heightened by imagination.

Debby has been drawing and painting from a very early age. Moving from charcoal to pastels to oil painting, she transitioned from still life to dynamic paintings of landscapes and architecture. She developed a love for painting outdoor where she is challenged and inspired by the actual light and the passing day. Her compositions are fresh depictions of shadows, sunlight, atmosphere, and color.

In addition to the featured work of Debby Koonce more than 300 works of original art from the best of the best East Bay artists are also available for sale or rent-to-purchase through our exclusive "No Regrets" rental program.
