Deb Meier is a graduate of both SUNY Geneseo and SUNY Buffalo. Many locals know her as an Art Educator for Batavia City Schools; her retirement was almost nine years ago. Now she fills her days trying to "master" watercolor.
"Honestly, mastering watercolor is something that I am not sure is possible. What I do attempt is to involve myself in it each day, whether that means sitting down at the easel and painting, watching a video online, or reading a book on the practice of watercolor. It truly is a versatile medium, giving me many directions to go with it, from high realism to abstraction. It's fun to break boundaries of what is traditionally expected of watercolor, whether it's done through bold color, granulation runs, or a presentation referred to as Breaking Glass, where the artwork is cold-waxed, allowing it to be displayed without plexiglass glazing.
My subject matter is all over the place, although I keep gravitating towards portraits and birds, as I like the challenge of encouraging interaction between the viewer and the artwork. If this piece of artwork could talk, what would it say?"
Deb is active in both the Williamsville Art Society, where she recently took third place for Watercolor in their Spring Show, and Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society, where she was awarded Judge's Choice in their Spring 2025 Watermedia Exhibition. She is also an active member of the Western New York Artists Group, and an Associate member of Buffalo Society of Artists.
