Artist Profile Debra Keirce

Keirce’s virtuosic, high-drama realism captures the raw power of motion and realizes moments of profound, fleeting intensity.

Artist Statement

Life is like that. It comes at you fast. How many times do I sit myself down and say “Self, you’ve got this. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!” This painting is inspired by that time at American Frontier Production, when they burned a field and had the cowboys ride horses through the line of fire and smoke. Again, life is like that.
