About Debra Butler

I am a retired physician living in Denver, Colorado. I grew up in Huntington Beach, California and spent summers at the beach. I graduated from UCLA School of Medicine and began my career as a physician in diagnostic radiology. Photography became my creative outlet and way of relaxing. My artistic inspiration comes from the beauty of nature.

Hi Debra, Your photography is powerful. I especially like the b&w. The submitted painting reminds me of David Hockney. Stay well! https://www.apollo-magazine.com/david-hockney-pool-paintings/amp/

Hi Debra, I'm impressed with your photographs and am intrigued by your use of the painter effect in many of them. I think you have a good sense for where and when to use it as well as a good sense for restraint. Post processing should not be the first thing noticed in a work. In fact, I think in a couple of your submissions - "Venice Romance" being one of them - you transcend both photography and painting with your gifted touch. I look forward to enjoying more of your work!
