Welcome to Deborah Burge Art online

Artist Deborah Burge a.k.a RawfeyL

Art work photos are entered into the Portfolio page grouped by decade.

Why categorize by decade?

As an artist, I have always worked in primarily recycled/reused materials combined with fine art materials; so dividing works by medium is tediously Old World. In an age when art can also be made simply of pixels in digital mediums, categorizing by Old World standards like “Painting, Sculpture, or Photography” is just silly.

I am an artist. I make art, in any medium and many mediums at any one time. Sometimes the work is mostly flat and sometimes it is definitely sculptural, and sometimes it is just bits of information -nothing real and everything about reality.

And I am the same artist whether I am holding a paintbrush, or a chisel, or a camera, or a computer mouse and keyboard.

I paint on my sculptures and I combine sculptural elements in paintings with all types of paint and markers, and one piece of some type of break-pad auto-shop-discard that makes a delightful conte-crayon red and is savage permanent on any surface.

Art works in the Portfolio Art Galleries are represented by click-able icons which enlarge for a slide-show of all pieces included in the gallery.

Featured works with additional trivia will be included below the main icon gallery, along with multiple views for sculpture works; when available or as I create them.

The web updates are still happening. I made the deadline for the Smithsonian Portrait competition and will be a “film-star” (more on that later) full for the few weeks. As always I am digging in my dumpster, regularly.
