Deborah Paris practiced law for over twenty years before returning to her first love - painting. Her moody, tonal paintings pay homage to the American landscape and to transcendent moments at particular times of the day.
She has been featured in American Artist, Southwest Art and The Pastel Journal. In December 2004 she was named an Artist to Watch by Southwest Art Magazine. Her work has been shown at the Laguna Art Museum, the Albuquerque Museum of Art, and the Panhandle-Plains Museum.
In 2006 her work was featured in two new books, Landscapes of New Mexico (Fresco Fine Art Publications) and Plein Air New Mexico (Jack Richeson Art Publications).
