About
I'm Debbie Clapper and I make my living as a graphic designer and artist. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio, but I currently reside in Denver, Colorado. I have a midwest accent. Obsessively drawing patterns is an everyday thing in my household.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I create works that challenge the viewer to go beyond surface level and to delve deeper into the piece, allowing the art to reflect their own life experiences. The use of imperfect patterns symbolizes the importance of breaking out of routine - welcoming mistakes and new encounters into our existence.

I ENJOY
Patterns. Typography. Art. Design. Hot Yoga. Cheese. Bicycling. Music. Printmaking. Sharpies. Spraypaint. Gigposters. Walking. Coffee.

I HEART
Kim Deal. Annie Bailey. Marian Bantjes. Julie Mehretu. Thomas Campbell. Mars-1. Rostarr. UMPH!. Tiffany Bozic. Phil Frost. Picasso. Nikki McClure. Jon Burgerman. Cindy Sherman. David Ellis. *Sparkle*.
