Deborah has taught art to adults and children for many years in public and private school settings and has led numerous painting workshops, most recently having taught adult classes in painting and collage at Blue Door Gallery in Yonkers in 2013-2014. Recent Projects: Linoleum block printing residency: Grade 4, social studies theme "Native American Life." Working in tandem with teachers, students studied Native American cultures & history and created related images. Each student sketched several ideas then refined them to one idea, which was drawn in reverse on the linoleum plate. They then applied water based ink in one or more colors and hand printed images. As a culminating activity an exhibition of the work was viewed school wide. Adult Women with Cancer: "ABC's of Painting": A series of exercises included brushwork, color mixing, line, value, etc. Technique exploration and expansion led into themes, abstract of realistic. Self expression & imagination was encouraged. As a culminating group activity the group review their own and each others' work to see the great progress made in exploration & mastery of painting techniques, which had resulting in many exciting & interesting paintings.
