Debra Van Swearingen has had a passion for photography since the age of 11 when her father gave her a Kodak Instamatic. Being a visual person, it seemed very natural to view life through a lens. Debra's subjects usually involve the "beauty of nature" in the form of botanical images, trees, and landscapes, as well as nostalgic-themed still lifes and old architecture. She prefers working with natural light. Although she has used film for many years (making fiber prints and hand-coloring with oils and pencils), she now strives to give each image its own individual appeal utilizing digital technology.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
