“Debra Huse takes a loving look at the quintessential California lifestyle: the beaches, boats, gardens, and people, all partaking of the "good life" in the Golden State. 
An astute observer of everyday life, Debra presents her subjects immersed in the
unique light and warmth of coastal Southern California. 
A true "plein air" painter, her paintings are direct and honest views of what is all around her.”              
-Mr. Jean Stern, Art Historian, Author and Lecturer
