Deborah Buck

Deborah Buck is a fine artist whose paintings explore the interplay of surrealism and abstraction, romanticism, and the darker side of fairy tales.

Buck is a life-long painter and has been exhibiting work in New York and New England for over 30 years. Through her paintings, she creates worlds that are surreal and humorous using a vigorous and vibrant approach to texture, color, and strong drawing. She is interested in the highs and lows within cultures and is a restless spirit constantly pushing and exploring the boundaries around her.
