DEBRA LOTT: PAINTER

Debra Lott creates oil paintings and drawings that use the female form to explore contemporary issues in art.  As a feminist artist, her personal journey is assimilated into each of her paintings, as well as the shared female experience. Lott illustrates the lives that are not just her own, but that of family, friends and all women.  Her large scale expressive paintings reflect upon the human experience, specifically about women adjusting and coping with contemporary challenges. She makes a visual statement of the value of women and creates portraits that bring recognition to both their physical and spiritual beauty.

Lott’s subject matter and theme drive her choice of style and technique which has included naturalism, expressionism, semi-abstraction and figurative distortion. She’s interested in using creative methods and materials to advance her techniques experimenting with many surfaces and materials including mylar, lokta paper, collage and resin. “I experiment first and then choose what I feel best supports and communicates the women and the message.”

 “Many cultures are conditioned to think of women as the weaker sex.  In the art that I’m producing now I hope to reflect women as an uplifting, empowering force that through solidarity will shape the future.”
