Fine Art with a Modern Twist

Debra Whelan is a contemporary digital fine artist who enjoys combining colorful realism with an abstract twist. A traditional fine artist since early childhood, Debra recently decided to explore a completely new medium, one that involves using a tablet and stylus, instead of a traditional surface and paint brush. Each image is hand-painted and then printed on archival canvas when completed.

Portrait commissions are welcome, as I am passionate about visually commemorating the human and animal spirit. I find nothing more timeless than an artfully painted portrait, one that captures the likeness and quintessential character of a beloved person or pet.

When you contact me, we will discuss your vision for the portrait and I will work from photos that you provide in order to create a portrait that I know you will treasure.

Testimonials

I’ve admired Debra Whelan’s artwork for years. I have found that whatever media she works in, she masters it beautifully. I am now thrilled to have one of her creations. When I shared my thoughts with her as to what I was looking for, she obviously attentively and sensitively listened…because when she showed me several ideas for me to choose from, I was flabbergasted. Each of her creations were so fantastic, I had a difficult time choosing. Seeing the end result of the artwork she created for me, gave me chills. I became so excited that I felt like a kid on Christmas morning with enthusiasm. I couldn’t believe that this gorgeous piece of art would be mine. The colors, the message conveyed, was spot on. What she created for me was better than I ever dreamed of and exceeded beyond my expectations. Thank you, Debra!

I contacted Debra to create a memorial portrait in memory of a dear friend. She took the time to really listen to my vision I was looking for and to learn about my friend. What she created was absolutely stunning. Her work is so beautiful, it comes completely from her heart. The colors and the light she used, and the way she brought this art to life was incredible. This painting will always be treasured and bring warm memories.
