Deborah says, "I look for the extraordinary in the intimate, ordinary landscape-the moment when light and atmosphere create a bridge between outward movement and inner standstill, allowing a moment of reflection. A luminous glow, produced by using Renaissance techniques to apply veils of transparent color, is combined with a modern sensibility in design and color. I ask the viewer to look, and having looked, to linger."
Deborah Paris is a contemporary American artist. Her moody, tonal landscapes reflect an intense, intuitive connection to the natural world and its rhythms.

Her work has been shown at the Laguna Art Museum, the Albuquerque Museum of Art, the Panhandle-Plains Museum and the Gilcrease Museum. In 2006 her work was featured in two new books, Landscapes of New Mexico (Fresco Fine Art Publications) and Plein Air New Mexico (Jack Richeson Art Publications). In 2009 New Mexico Magazine chose her work for their 2010 Enchanting New Mexico Calendar.
"Deborah Paris holds fast to the vision of the Hudson River School painters - that the American landscape is both sublime and divine." Southwest Art Magazine, Artists to Watch, December 2004
