About Deb (we love her!)
Deb has been flying out from Philadelphia to participate in the festival since the second year of commencement. In the past 2 decades, she has painted and hiked from Capital Reef to Zion. She has won multiple awards at the Festival and has also sold much of her artwork at the festival.
Deb has fallen in love with Escalante and considers it a family reunion each year. She looks forward to meeting with artists each year who want to join the Festival Family.
