Deborah Peters By age nine, Deborah knew art was her calling. By senior year in high school, she earned a collection of numerous exceptional merit awards for fine art, dominating the genre with ribbons at annual shows. Her emergence as an artist comes from a very unique history originating from the film production world combined with photography. Seeing the future in the new computer software that revolutionized animation technology, Deborah received her degree in Computer Animation early on graduating with honors. She then landed a job with 20th Century Fox Animation Studios, the first graduate from the The Art Institute to join the team. Her dedicated work ethic promoted her into the Continuity Dept. There she gained valueable experience interacting with producer Gary Goldman and director Don Bluth, exposed to the facets of production while updating storyboards. Fascinated with 3d elements and camera, she contributed many long additional hours to the 3D department as well, creating models that would later be on film earning her 2 film credits from the studio. Desiring an independent freedom the fine art realm has to offer, Deborah has gone back to her traditional roots in art, now seasoned with a cinematic eye for story and dimension. The camera is her first love and complete foundation for her paintings. The one rule forever etched in her mind from her film background: “Show the story”. She enjoys pushing the envelope with extreme close ups and cropped compositions; what doesn’t enhance the story gets edited out of the picture.   Branded & Bonded Western Equine Painting   Heartbeat of the West Western Equine Painting   Sunday Sun Western Equine Painting Spring Run Western Equine Painting   Forever Young Western Equine Painting   Viligant Wildlife Painting On the Wind Native American Portrait Painting
