Deb Hemley

I create abstract landscapes in acrylics, mixed media, and drawing, inspired by nature, memory, and a sense of place. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the possibilities of expressing ideas and feelings through words and images. Visual art making takes me places—literally and figuratively—inviting discovery, reflection, and joy. Working in acrylics, gouache, watercolor, mixed media, pen and ink, and charcoal, I create abstract landscapes inspired by nature, memory, and the places that shape me. My work balances spontaneity with intention, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own connections. Creative expression provides meaning, community, and a deeper sense of purpose in my life.
