Deb Chaney

Ignited by her inner spiritual journey, Deb Chaney’s abstract compositions take you on a path of emotional discovery. Favoring calming palettes, she creates with the intention to soothe and nurture. Her process often begins with a palette knife in hand, and inspiration from within. Hours, days and sometimes months later, after applying and taking away layers of acrylic paints & mixed media, a painting emerges with its own story, its own lessons and the healing gift of its creation.

“Art is life. Life is art. We are all artists, all creators. I believe this. We are all here to create our lives... so all life is art.”

Artist Inspiration

Chaney explains her drive to paint is simply; “Love. I would paint whether nobody knew, or the whole world knew I was painting. I am in love with the creative process, I love the challenge of it, the fun of it and the newness of it.”

Her studio is a sacred environment, as she explains that’s where she enters a zone of creation, where time simply disappears. She likens it to a place of ‘muchin’, a Japanese word for no-mindedness. A place of pure love.
