Debi Yeiter

Debi Yeiter (a.k.a. Debo) married to a wonderful man who encourages her artistic adventures as nothing is safe when it comes to her and paints. She has raised her own children to explore and enjoy the art that is all around and now teaches her grandchildren to do the same. This isn't surprising as she has been involved in some form of art since a young age. Of all the different forms of art, Debo enjoys painting the most. Painting is catharsis. With paint, she believes you cannot make a mistake because if you don't like something, simply paint over it and continue on; while wit finds its place in verse, her philosophy embeds true elements of real-life truism. She believes any artist can be as messy or neat as they want because with paint you can not only use brushes but your fingers as well to create beautiful masterpieces. These ideas are what she teaches to her high school students as their art teacher by day and to her clients and friends by nights and weekends when she plays at Painting With a Twist.
