Debbie Goodman creates portraits of birds and wild animals at her home studio overlooking Nanoose Bay. She works in the medium of paper collage, and her artwork is for sale in selected shops from Qualicum Beach to Nanaimo.

 

Debbie is inspired by the natural world, and devoted to its preservation. She is a volunteer naturalist at the Morrell Sanctuary in Nanaimo, and donates all profits from the sale of her artwork to charities that support animal welfare and conservation.

 

Originally from Colorado, Debbie retired early from her profession as a chemical engineer, and studied art fundamentals at the University of Utah. She gained familiarity with birds and wildlife during ten years of volunteer work for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and five years of legislative lobbying for the Utah Audubon Council. 

 

She and her husband immigrated to Canada in early 2009, and are delighted to be living on Vancouver Island.
