About Debra Pruskowski

I've been drawn to art for as long as I can remember. My inspiration comes from shapes, colors, nature, and just the pure fun of creating. My work has turned to many mediums, sometimes combining one or many, realism and abstract, becoming more spontaneous and evolving as I move through it. I've explored many ways to share my art, and I am thrilled to now be part of this amazing Minted Community!
