Debra Scolari’s paintings are an abstract manifestation of the idiomatic rhythms of nature expressed in a modern form. Rendered of her uniquely lyrical vision, each painting offers an excursion into an arcane, yet sensuous world which pulsates within it’s own vibrant patterns. Debra paints to capture, deconstruct, reinterpret and express the sublime dynamics and mystery of our natural world. To observe her paintings is to be enchanted with the beauty and epiphany of elemental textures and jewel-like colors. Debra’s prolific body of work shows a progression, which continues to develop and emerge in fine art galleries and commercial spaces throughout the United States.
