About

{"ops":[{"insert":"I'm Debra Kennedy, a painter based out of Portland, Oregon. My work is rooted in the things that move me—nature’s wildness, a single lyric that won’t leave my head, the churn of everyday feelings, or even just a word that catches in my mind. I like to think of my paintings as a conversation between what’s seen and what’s felt, with texture and color doing most of the talking.\n\nI love getting hands-on with my materials, layering paint until the surface becomes something you want to reach out and touch. Each piece is a bit of an experiment, sometimes bold, sometimes quiet, but always honest. I hope when people see my work, they feel something—maybe a memory stirred, a mood echoed, or just a moment to breathe. That’s the magic I’m chasing with every brushstroke.\n"}]}
