Debra Van Swearingen has had a passion for photograph since the age of 11 when her father gave her a Kodak
Instamatic 104.   Being a visual person, it seemed very natural to view life through a lens.

     After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, she worked for the Department of Defense in contracting and pursued photography in the evenings at the Oklahoma School of Photography.  It was after a year of cancer remediation in 1996 that Debra decided to make her passion her  profession.  She shared a studio in the Paseo Arts District of Oklahoma City for 20 years and is currently a member of the Gallery 123 in Norman, OK.  She has become an award winning photographer in the field of photographic arts. 
    
    Debra's subjects usually involve the "beauty of nature" in the form of botanical images, trees, large wading birds and landscapes.  She prefers working with natural light and now strives to give each image its own individual appeal utilizing digital technology. Some of her new work involves a method of printmaking called gilded vellum in which you print the image using pigment ink on vellum and apply metal leafing the back making a stunning presentation of the image. These prints are sold in editions of 5 or 10.

   Her work is displayed at the Gallery 123 in Norman, OK, private collections, and originals and fine art prints may be obtained through her website.  There are also unsigned prints through various art websites like Art.com, Framedart.com, etc.
