Deb Watson is a well known artist and teacher in watercolor realism. She loved art from an early age, but her parents thought it a waste of time. Even while working as a nurse and raising a family, Deb still found time to teach herself to paint. As her skills improved, she began teaching. Giving other people the encouragement she never found is very rewarding for Deb.

Deb's second passion is gardening with native plants to help the birds, bees and butterflies. She lives in Lancaster, PA with her husband and dog, Edgar.
