Featured Artist

Susan-Angelo Debay

Her art will be displayed for March and April.

Please come by to see her work.

Susan has been an artist for over 55 years working in various mediums such as leather, copper, silver, clay, acrylic, watercolor, and gouache, and oil. Susan absolutely loves making stickers, decals, and designs.She has done leatherworking; copper and silver metalsmithing; jewelry making and design; sculpting; murals for homes and for the prestigious South Coast Winery in Temecula. 

Over the years she's found peace while working in her studio, she calls it her “happy place”. It is there where she can express herself with unhindered creativity and with the pure joy that comes from it. She loves doing en plein air paintings in Yosemite, Big Bear, the high desert, and Sedona.  

Susan belongs to the Fine Arts Club in Apple Valley and is also looking to connect with other local plein air artists who have like minded interests. 

She believes it is extremely hard work being an artist but the rewards from being validated every time a painting is sold just can’t be beat. She loves it and would choose this every time over any other type of career. 

One of her biggest passions is to watch other artists on YouTube teach and show the techniques and paintings they do en plein air. Susan loves to see their set-ups so she can learn as well. She sometimes jokes around with people and says, “ I have my masters degree at the University of YouTube” because she's learned so much over the years of staying up all hours of the morning watching them.
