Deborah Chapin - Talks at the Smithsonian American Art Museum
Deborah Chapin will be giving a talk and DVD-demo of her painting experiences in Sea and Surf En Plein Air October 7th, 2007 in the Museum's Auditorium. During the 45 min video demo/talk she will be discussing "Educating The Eye" which she has been talking about for most of her 27 year career, Helping people to "see" what it is that makes art, art and in particular plein air painting. During this demo she shows how she executes her marines on location and what to look for in good plein air work. The DVD/Talk includes a reprint of an article written by the artist and published in the American Art Magazine - which explains in greater detail tackling this difficult subject. For all audiences.

Living in Maryland since 1978, Chapin started with the one-design boating on the Chesapeake Bay, then later switched into plein air paintings of the coast of France and water gardens. Depicting water and water related subject not only appeals to her artistic nature but her desire to cherish this most precious and least appreciated resource. Her work has come to full circle as a mature artist currently painting a series of works related to wildlife refuges, wetlands, rivers and estuaries as well as the ocean waters.
Deborah Chapin’s ability to capture the water’s essence is reflected in her 27-year career. As an accomplished marine artist her work was selected as the 20th century representative (September 2000) the Ketterer Kunst Marine Art Auction (Hamburg). De Beer’s monograph on Ludolf Backhuysen [National Gallery of Art, 2004] compares her active water scenes with the 17th century Dutch painter. As an accomplished plein air painter, she depicts wetlands, waterways, and grasslands. Her interest in the beauty of grasses, which she paints like florals, sprang from her plein air florals. Recently her wetland grasses won the Grand Prize at the Paint America Competition , her water scenes were selected for the Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition , the CM Russell Auction 2007 and a return to the Mystic Seaport International.

Her work is represented locally by Mille-Fleurs Fine Art, St. Michaels, MD at which she will be having an exhibition in St. Michaels in September.
