Local artist Debbie Hughbanks is passionate about both animals and art. In this show she shares her love of both by bringing us a unique collection of creatures from around the world to feature both animals and birds as subjects created in pastel, acrylic, scratchboard and mixed media.

In Debbie’s words, “I paint because I must paint. The creation of art is a passion and desire that I feel I must meet on some level every day. My hope is that the joy I feel in the creation of each piece will come through to those who view my art, and speak to each viewer on a very personal level.”

Stop by the Liberty Gallery in the Historic Liberty Building for the First Friday reception to meet Debbie on Aug 2nd from 5-8pm.
