Debra Forth – San Francisco, CA

A rainbow-haired amazon from Detroit, MI, that’s me. I love Detroit, but I’m done with snow. I left my heart in San Francisco a while back, and am finally able to call it home.
I paint what I love, and love what I paint.

The city that I live in, the people I’m surrounded by, and pop culture are things that inspire me. Living in many major cities across the country has inspired a lot of creativity in my life. Silly things. Jim Henson’s The Muppets followed by Tom Brokov was the norm growing up. A well-balanced dose of world news and some adult, yet kid friendly, humor. I paint the things that I like, not what anyone requests. I can’t pick a subject, it picks me.
