About QI Debrah

 
 
  • Biography
    I have been doing art for over 30 years. I grew up in a artistic family and started studaied art when I was 7. I went to professional art schools in my youth and studied Fine art in art college  before I came to U.S. Now, I have live in U.S for 26 years.  My main art interest switched to Illustration since I studied this major in New York. Since I am an Illustrator, my main focus is to create paintings  by oil paintings in storical matters. My style is realism. My main subjects are Children and young adults. Andrew Weyth and JW Waterhouse are the two influencers to my personal style. I am trying to communicate with my viewers through poetic and emotional messages from each of my  painting. I often use wood panels for my oil paintings. I also do watercolor on paper as well. I love to create art, it is so natual to me as breathing air, without it,I will be meaningless and suffocate, especially empty inside.
