About the Artist
|
|
|
|
Debra Krakow is a strong artistic voice in southeastern Ontario. In acrylic, watercolour and other media, her artwork delves into portraiture and the rural and urban landscapes. The paintings are infused with light and vitality. A native Montrealer, Krakow now lives with her husband and children on their Wolfe Island farm.
