Debra Tritt Kreiger
If you are from the Central PA region, you are likely to have seen Deb Kreiger's paintings, cards and Christmas ornaments. Deb grew up in Central Pennsylvania. She and her husband Scott live in Mechanicsburg, where they raised a son Jason, who was nurtured with artistic talent and graduated from Savannah Collage of Art and Design as an animation major. Deb studied Fine Art at York Academy of Arts in York, PA. She also studied under many local and nationally known artists. Deb is becoming known for her transparent watercolor paintings. She uses bright fresh color and textures to transform her subjects. She keeps a limited palette to keep the colors fresh. Nature is her love, but she paints various subjects with ease. She acquires her research from day to day life as well as her travels throughout the country. Her camera is always at the ready to capture inspiration in photographs. Deb carries her cheerful personality into her paintings. She paints with passion and confidence. Her goal is to give good energy and a smile to all who view her work.
Deb shows at a number of art associations, such as York Art Association, Perry County Council of the Arts, Harrisburg Art Association, and Mechanicsburg Art Center. She is also a member of "The Daily Painters of Pennsylvania". http://www.dailypaintersofpennsylvania.blogspot.com/ .
