"Paradise, that is how Debbie Brady Robinson describes her hometown, of Tybee Island GA." Incorporating beautiful coastal scenes, from home - exquisite wildlife, and vibrant tropical scenes are often depicted in her work." 

Ultimately majoring in Business, and minoring in Art, Debbie met her husband Mark while pursuing a degree in Fine Art, at Georgia Southern University in the mid 70's.  "Art is in "my blood," says Debbie. "I never recall a time when I couldn't draw or paint. I come from a very long line of artistically gifted people.  For instance, when I was barely a toddler, my father painted brightly colored murals on the walls and ceiling of my bedroom - incorporating magical nursery rhyme characters.  I still remember his beautiful artwork to this day!"

 

“Creating almost exclusively in oil and acrylic, it is clear that painting is her life. "I'm passionate about my work," says Debbie. "If I lived to be 200, I could never complete all of the paintings already stored in my mind's eye!"

Debbie continued her passion, and worked as a professional artist from 1998 until "retiring" to The Villages in 2016.  During those years, Debbie earned the distinction of being voted "Best Local Artist,' for 13 years. 

When asked why she continues to paint now that she and her husband 

have "retired" to The Villages, Debbie responds; 

 "Well, though I didn't expect to be quite this busy in "retirement," I've never met a fellow artist who really retired.  As I've said for decades; 

 

“Old artists never retire, eventually we just "brush off!"
