Pandora's Box
by Deborah-Anne Woods

www.deborah-anne.com

A watercolorist since she started her painting career somewhere around 1975, Deborah-Anne has taken a new direction from the peaceful California landscapes she was best known for. Inspired by Art Nouveau, stained glass windows and many great contemporary artists and illustrators, she is finding a new style of figurative art combined with sensuous elements of nature.
The questions Deborah-Anne is asked most often are how long does it take to paint a particular piece and where does she come up with her ideas. Ideas come to Deborah from everywhere around her. "My brain is constantly seeing things in my surroundings and putting them in a painting. A particular bunch of rocks and sticks, or a fence, or tree stump might become backdrops for fairies, dragons or other fantasy beings."
