Trademark Fine Art 'Palm Tree Looking Up I' Canvas Art by Debra Van Swearingen

Debra Van Swearingen has had a passion for photography since the age of 11 when her father gave her a Kodak Instamatic. Being a visual person, it seemed very natural to view life through a lens. Debra's subjects usually involve the "beauty of nature" in the form of botanical images, trees, and landscapes, as well as nostalgic-themed still lifes and old architecture.

She prefers working with natural light. Although she has used film for many years (making fiber prints and hand-coloring with oils and pencils), she now strives to give each image its own individual appeal utilizing digital technology. - a black and white photograph of palm trees against a sunny sky.
