“I love to oil paint whether plein air, from still life, or creatively composing from my own photographs. My work can be described as representational and impressionistic. My favorite subjects are New Mexico landscapes, many of which are figurative containing people, portraits, and animals. I also enjoy painting Southwest-Style buildings, especially homes, and streets in the Santa Fe vicinity.” |

Deborah Paisner began oil painting January 2000 when she relocated from Northern California to Santa Fe, New Mexico with her husband Jeff and daughter Leah. She graduated with Great Distinction from San Jose State University (SJSU) in 1975, earning a Bachelors degree in occupational therapy (OT) with minors in psychology and art. She obtained her OT Registration from the American Occupational Therapy Association in 1976 and received her Masters degree in occupational therapy from SJSU in 1981. Deborah still maintains her New Mexico OT License, but has not practiced occupational therapy since March 2006.
