Debra Keirce
I am a contemporary realist painter and draughtsman. I have achieved master artist recognitions in oil painting and charcoal drawing.
My work is not merely about meticulous rendering. It is about creating a visual story that leads the viewer into an intimate narrative. I believe that painting and drawing are acts of a sophisticated magic - a flat surface transformed into a moment of palpable, three-dimensional reality.
My artistic process is founded on precision and problem-solving, skills honed during my prior career as a biochemical design engineer. This rigor is applied to exploring subjects, often inspired by Trompe L’Oeil.
I pay homage to the 17th-century masters of illusion and the European miniature artists. My art uses this technical mastery to evoke a powerful feeling or memory in the viewer. The finished work is just the beginning of a story that collectors continue to write.
The work I have done for the Langham Hotel in Boston and the US Coast Guard government collection are a large part of my legacy. The funny thing is, when I began painting full time, I had no idea I even wanted a legacy. This art journey has a way of delivering the most amazing unscripted and treasured experiences.
