image2041

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, artist Deborah Ponder earned her BFA from the University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture & Art, followed by graduate studies at Towson University and the Maryland Institute, College of Art. The artist attributes much of her artistic development to plein air painting in the countryside of Tuscany while living and studying art in Florence, Italy. This experience was a major turning point, in both spirit and practice, when she shifted her medium of choice from oil to watercolor painting. She continues to travel often, favoring Italy's visually and culturally diverse regions and the colorful Caribbean, gathering inspiration for new paintings to be completed at her rural Maryland studio.

artist's statement

"The subject, the place, the light, the feeling... It is when these perfectly converge in the moment and move me emotionally that I find inspiration for my watercolor paintings. Most often, my work places natural elements in counterpoint to architectural and man-made elements: a window, doorway or balcony; a garden wall or fence; breeze-blown laundry on a line; a hastily abandoned table or chair. As an artist, I see these marks that people leave on the world as small glimpses into the stories of their lives and as connections with my own."
