A painting by Deborah Scott titled Balance, featuring a performer from Seattle’s Teatro ZinZanni. The performer stands poised with a purple ball in one hand and a green apple in the other, symbolizing the act of balancing life’s complexities. The background includes a fragmented sky and an unfinished wooden structure, reflecting themes of chaos, impermanence, and adaptability. The composition captures the elegance and resilience required to navigate unpredictability both on stage and in life.
A painting by Deborah Scott titled Consumption of Innocence, depicting a young woman standing in a dense, shadowy forest. She wears a vivid red hooded coat and clutches a Target bag filled with medications, symbolizing caregiving for her sick grandfather. The distressed textures of the forest and the contrast between the modern Target bag and the timeless setting evoke themes of responsibility, innocence, and emotional tension.
A vibrant painting by Deborah Scott titled Ode to Joy, featuring a young woman in a striped dress surrounded by a cascade of colorful confetti. She kneels in a grassy field with one arm raised, her face radiating pure happiness and exuberance. The vivid greens of the landscape and the playful energy of the confetti capture the spirit of living life fully and unapologetically.

The most important realities of life that surround us everyday can be the hardest to see. My paintings portray the seen and unseen essence and stories of people and nature.
