About Deb Deaton
​ I received my art degree from the Art Institute of Colorado in 1978. Since then, I have been creating art in many forms; oil, watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, mixed media, and fiber art. I began quilting 30 years ago and although I loved to create beautiful quilts, my love of art moved me into Fiber Arts, leading me to launch DJ’s Fiber Arts (DJ is short for my first name, Debbie Jo). I am an award-winning fiber and multi-media artist, creating fiber art, painting my own fabric, embellishing using different fibers and media such as silk, wool, paints, beads and more. Her motto is – “NO RULES, JUST ART”
Creating fiber art is a deeply personal journey for me, allowing me to merge my love for tactile experiences with my passion for self-expression. Each stitch I make serves as a vessel for my emotions, thoughts, and experiences, woven together into a unique tapestry of my inner world. Through the rhythmic motion of my hands, I find solace and meditation, as I immerse myself in the creative process, unraveling the threads of my imagination to bring forth something entirely new and meaningful. Fiber art is not just my craft; it reflects my soul, a medium through which I communicate with the world, leaving traces of my essence in every intricate detail.
