Debra White

Born in a town along the Ohio River in Ohio...from there, my family moved to Arizona...there
started my love of powerful color and strong shapes.

Back in Ohio, I continue my love of sculpture and the study of positive and negative space in nature.

I have done pieces in Indiana limestone, paper mache’, and bronze.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT...

My work involves developing sculptural pieces that
incorporate texture and organic masses. I strive to create shapes that have the power to move the viewer emotionally and visually.

Living in a high-tech society such as ours...it is sometimes difficult for us as a peoples to maintain
a spiritual connectiveness with our beginnings...working in sculpture gives me an opportunity to explore forms that have a relevance to our surroundings.

Past cultures have contributed so much visually and spiritually...we must continue that journey.
