“I often look around and think for a long time about how my observations tell a story. This I tell with a collection of objects, places, people, and animals printed. My hope is that my work encourages others to look deeper and longer at what surrounds them.” - Deborah Stratford

Artebella On The Radio: July 1

Deborah Whistler just opened a new exhibit, "A Siren's Kiss", at Moremen Gallery, and this week we're talking about it. Tune in to LVA's Artebella on the Radio on WXOX 97.1 FM, or stream on Artxfm.com Thursdays at 10 am.

Deborah Whistler is currently the Program Director of Art at Spalding University. She received her BFA from Miami University in 1981 and her MFA with a concentration in printmaking from the University of Cincinnati in 1996.

Moreman Gallery has opened A SIREN'S KISS  by Deborah Whistler,  on view through July 17, 2021.

Deborah was born in Middletown OH and was raised in a small farming community outside of Oxford OH. Growing up, Deborah was fascinated with fairy tales and how the little girl in those stories could overcome fear and obstacles to face and slay the dragon. It wasn’t that these stories proved that monsters exist that fascinated her but that they convinced her that monsters could be beaten. “For me, one pivotal moment was when I first watched the movie The Wizard of OZ. It was that dramatic shift between black and white to color that I connected with.  It was in the imagination that all seemed possible. At 6 years old I realized that the man behind the curtain was a fraud and that the little girl and her misfit friends had the power to problem-solve their way out of any sticky situation.”
