Debbie Dubac
One day, I suddenly got the urge to move to Alaska. At first, in 1990, I didn’t understand why. But as fate may have it and time “brushed” forward, the entire “picture” became perfectly clear... Alaska is the ideal place to live and work as an artist! For as long as I can recall, art, animals, flowers and nature have been my love. It is no coincidence that I acquired a deep passion for Alaska and its natural resources. Alaska continues to inspire me to produce colorful expressions of some of the most admired wildlife and nature in the world. I am blessed to have the opportunity to portray that which is close to me and my heart... Alaska’s nature. Through my art, I offer thanks for these God-given gifts and make awareness of the beauty that decorates, entertains and supports our lives. In turn, my goal is to remind everyone of our crucial responsibility, to honor, cherish and protect these precious natural gifts. Thank you for viewing my art!
