Debbie Pittman has been painting commercially since she was 16, and sold approximately 1,000 paintings "through the years." She works primarily in acrylic and oils, but has been known to create watercolor, sculpture, pen & ink, digital graphic design, photography, and with non-traditional materials. Some of her photography has graced national magazine covers. She has been commissioned to do animal portraiture, and specializes in horses.
"I've loved horses since I was little," she said.
"I started drawing and painting when I was 10," said Pittman, "when my folks bought my first set of oil paints."
She primarily paints western, wildlife, and landscapes, has done plein aire work.
"I have a photographic memory, and a lot of times I will see something that will catch my eye, and even years later, I'll paint it," she said. "Sometimes I will work on four paintings at a time," she said, "it helps me to put one down and go back to it later. Part of it is I need to set it aside to look at it, and work on something else for a while."
"I paint for myself, mainly, and if people like my work, that's a plus. I like to create," said Pittman.
"I haven't had the time to pursue it full time, but I plan to, some day."
