Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, February 18, 2004 Page 11 … Debbie Dawson, artist When did you arrive in Illi- nois Valley? I moved here in October of 2002, from Medford. What brought you here? I came because I changed ca- reers; I became a full-time art- ist. Moving here has helped me start doing that. This area has a great artist community, for which I’m grateful. People have been very supportive. What do you find most compelling about the area? Oh, I just love it here, the nature, the rivers, the rocks, the people. Everything’s been great. It’s fed me artistically and spiritually. How did you develop your artistic skills? I’ve been drawing avidly since kindergarten. Then I went and earned my degree in art. I was supposed to be a missionary first, but a week before I was to go to missionary school, I decided to become an artist. And I’m so glad. And your parents were thrilled? They were mortified! But I got my degree in art from Southern Oregon State Col- lege. It was a fun time for me. Even though I have the degree, I am mostly self-taught. Most of my artwork arises from my own passion and discipline to keep motivated and working in it. That in itself is a life-long process. I will never reach the pinnacle of “having arrived.” I don’t expect to. That’s the fascinating thing about art, you can create something new every single day. What is inspiring you these days? What’s really turning me on artistically right now is moving out of realism into ab- stract art because I find it is much more challenging. There are so many possible out- comes; it takes a lot more thought. Do you teach art? I teach watercolor and drawing. Right now most of my students are private. I work with children, too, and that’s working out really well. I have a neat little core group of students which is exciting and fun. It’s a challenge to keep up with them, because they want to go so fast. I’m working on becoming an Artist in Residence through the South- ern Oregon Arts Council. Is your work showing anywhere? Yes. Right now my paintings are on display at the Blue Moon Café in Cave Junc- tion. It’s a wonderful place to have a show; the people who come in really enjoy seeing my paintings, and it’s a bright and cheerful spot, a great way to show off my work. I also have a painting in an abstract watercolor show in Ashland at The Jewelry Studio. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? I’ll have to say chocolate, of course. I’m a chocoholic.
