Artist Statement Debby Fleming-Mellor grew up in Flushing, Michigan. Under the tutelage of her talented high school art teacher, Richard Wolfgang, she won a first-place award in a state-wide high school student art competition when she was in the 11th grade. After that came college, marriage, work and children and art fell by the wayside for more pressing life issues.
In the mid-2000s, Debby started classes at Los Angeles- based fine art school, Mission: Renaissance. Thanks to a comprehensive program developed by Larry Gluck, Debby’s art muse was rekindled. She’s also taken classes with well-respected watercolorists Stan Miller and Lian Zhen and pastel artists, Mary Aslin and Brenda Boylan.
In 2019 her work was displayed in the Orange County Fine Art/showcase gallery.
In 2019 Debby entered her first juried show at the Laguna Beach Art-a-Fair and had a very successful show which was supported by her first collector.
She will be showing her work again at the Art-a-Fair show in Laguna Beach from July 2 2021 to September 5 2021.
Debby and her crossword-writer husband, Myles Mellor, live in Carlsbad, California. They love to travel and many of her works are taken from her photographs taken in Europe
