Deborah Eve Alastra
Deborah Eve Alastra is an artist based in Portland, Oregon. Having lived and traveled internationally, she studied Fine Arts in Mexico before completing a degree in Painting and Printmaking at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Her work has been described as Impressionistic, Village Naive, and Outsider art. International living and her current residence in the Pacific Northwest are strong influences, and she finds beauty in everyday subject matter, painting what she is drawn to in her environment.
Alastra paints quickly and continually, with her subjects ranging from antiquated and modern urban scenes to gardens, landscapes, unique still lifes, and interiors. Now and then, she also draws inspiration from dream imagery to create her pieces.
