D.K. Bollen Watercolors

​Debra is a watercolor artist living and working in downtown Edmonds, Washington, where she moved nearly two decades ago after 18 years living nearby.  She has had a lifelong love of art, experimenting at times over the years with various media, but today focuses her talent exclusively in watercolor. In the past she has been a student of Edmonds artist Joan E. Archer.

 

Debra’s deep love of natural beauty, her appreciation of the “divine design” in nature, and her eye for the interplay of color and light come through in all her work: from sunflower abstracts to the iridescent green of an ocean wave to the stillness of a sunrise over a tranquil lake. Living in Edmonds, she finds particular joy in the visual beauty of the city and its surroundings, savoring the sights of the Summer Market, the glow of the Edmonds waterfront at sunset, and the charm of downtown with its inviting storefronts and splashes of color.
