Primarily self taught, Debbie Faas is an oil painter with a studio in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle. Cultivating and nourishing her talent has been her number one goal in life. She took a five year break from portraits in 2015-2020 to explore her own creative art-making, but returned to portraiture during the pandemic. During 2020-2022 she painted over 100 commissioned portraits, including five portraits made for the showtime series, The First Lady. 

Debbie discovered her natural ability to paint in high school and from that point on has been unwavering in her dedication to her gifts. Taking her skills as far as they can go in her lifetime, is her life’s calling. As a younger artist, Debbie explored different artistic endeavors and mediums before committing to taking her oil painting to a higher level in her thirties. All the work shown in the online gallery has been painted within the last 10 years.
