Debra Bretton Robinson

Debra Bretton Robinson has been a resident of Chelmsford , Massachusetts for 8 years. She grew up in Plaistow, NH and received a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. She also attended the New England School of Art & Design, now a part of Suffolk University in Boston. Debra works in acrylic on canvas and collage on wood. She has always been intrigued with architecture and how it can be manipulated in her paintings. Debra is a true colorist. She is unafraid to try new and bold color combinations in her work. Her main influences are Matisse, Edward Hopper, Alice Neel and of course, Noredin Morgan. She keeps these masters in mind when using color and light to overwhelm her canvases. Debra feels drawn to the past architecturally but uses the fresh colors of the Fauve’s for buoyancy into the future and present. Debra is participating in a group show entitled Mask at the 119 Gallery in Lowell, MA from 9/2/08 to 9/30/08 with a reception on 9/13/08.
