February’s “Artist of the Month” Deborah Lightfield
New Exhibition
“Ocean Inspired”
March 2 – 30th 2026
“Ocean Inspired” – a deeply personal exploration of art shaped by the sea itself. Through her unique Ocean Wash process, each canvas is taken directly into the ocean—allowing salt, sand, and natural deposits to become part of the painting’s living texture. The result is work that is not only inspired by the water, but physically touched by it.
The exhibit will run through March 30th
