This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born
in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1954, Deborah Chapin first began exhibiting in
November 1982 at the Grand Central Galleries in New York. Noted as a plein-air
painter, and for her marine subjects, Chapin has since that time shown
both in the U.S. and internationally, including a show at the Louvre in
Paris. Since that time Ms. Chapin's works have been included in more than forty major Museum and Gallery exhibits including the Louvre, Grand Palais in Paris; RJ Schaffer Museum; Colorado Historical Museum; National Arts Club; Ketterer Kunst in Hamburg. She has authored several books: Dust On My Shoes and Sun At My Back, 15 Plein Air Painters Discuss Their Work.
Inspired by Impressionist exhibits, she developed an
affinity for the French countryside, and spent time in Brittany
painting there. She teaches classes in plein air painting and recently
published a handbook the subject. Chapin holds a B.S. degree (1976) and
a graduate studies certificate in French studies (1993).
She
describes herself as a naturalist/artist, and attributes her
appreciation and respect for nature to her father, who was a forester.
This appreciation of nature, as well as principles of growth, process,
and change influenced her to paint en plein air (on site).
Deborah Chapin has been selected a signature artist member of the following organizations:
National Arts Club, Society Nationale des Beaux Arts, California Art
Club, and the American Society of Marine Artists, among others. She is
also a member of the National Academy of Professional Plein Air
Painters.
