Debbie Wagner
Growing up in rural Kansas offers an artist a unique perspective,
one that few in this country can claim.
Debbie is one of those who have seized the opportunity to
document a life not many have experienced. Her work is an on-
going endeavor to capture the essence of a vanishing existence.
Her paintings are an intimate view of the physical and spiritual
vigor of the Great Plains.
A phrase often heard from well-traveled natives has inspired a daily
journey for Debbie: “Kansas has the most beautiful sunsets in the
world.” Debbie validates this belief by daily painting the Kansas
sunrise.
For her, each day begins by viewing the sunrise and then painting
this redemptive sight. Debbie is an intense, self-taught artist who
vigorously strives for the elusive perfect painting.
