Artist Deborah Beck, an acrylic and oil painter, currently resides in Vancouver, Washington.  Born and raised in Oregon, Deborah grew up in the mountains and deserts of the Northwest.  An avid dancer and hiker, Deborah gains inspiration for her  paintings from Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Baja Mexico.  Following her heart, Deborah moved on from a career in biology to a career as an artist, and has found it to be a most satisfying choice.
