Original painting by Deborah Brooks
Brooks exaggerates the power and beauty of plant life, highlighting nature's ability to grow and thrive in the face of adversity.
Through bold brushstrokes and dynamic compositions, she conjures the animistic spirit and quiet whimsy of the natural world, evoking the lush abundance found in flourishing landscapes.
With more than 30 years of experience in painting and drawing, Deborah Brooks brings deep expertise in materials, media, and art history to her studio practice.
Her work is grounded in both tradition and experimentation, informed by an M.A., an M.F.A., and National Board Certification as an Art Educator.
She lives in Milwaukee and maintains a studio in the city’s historic Third Ward.
M.A., M.F.A. and National Board Certified Art Educator are the credentials behind the experience of teaching thousands of students in challenging conditions. Located in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward as part of a studio with 15 other artists and creatives. Also an Adjunct Professor at Mount Mary University.

Art Instruction in Milwaukee, WI. Original art, art for walls.
Work with an experienced artist educator coach to explore those art supplies you've been wanting to use so that you can connect with more meaning than "follow along" paint sessions provide. It's satisfying.
I offer prompts, tips, techniques and mini goals to explore together during the sessions. No homework required - though, it may be tempting to keep going with what you find out! Any materials you would like to use is great, of course I can suggest some based on what you want to be able to do.
