Deborah Bigeleisen, “Big White Rose”

Deborah earned her degree in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and founded her own global print design company in Manhattan. After moving to Florida, she was eager to learn oil painting, “the medium of the Masters”. Early in her career, Deborah was represented by a local gallery where she painted beautiful roses using the techniques of the Dutch masters. Awed by the beauty, complexity and mystery of flowers, she continues to follow her passion.

Deborah Bigeleisen, “Energy”

Deborah’s discovery of fractals, the self-similar properties found within a single object of nature when viewed hundreds of times at different magnifications, has given rise to a whole new shift in her work to colorful abstract paintings. She plays warm hues against cool hues, working with a palette of up to eight colors and achieving an astonishing richness and depth in dark areas and luminosity in the highlights. She focuses on the movement, the energy in her brushwork, the color relationships and applies up to 20 coats of richly layered transparencies to each piece.

Deborah Bigeleisen, “Serpentine”

Deborah loves to share her knowledge by conducting International Art Fair tours and as an Adjunct Professor of Art at Palm Beach State College. Her award winning work has been featured on the covers and pages of numerous International art and design publications.  She is a member of  National Association of Women Artists, Cultural Council of Palm Beach County and Soroptimist International.

Deborah Bigeleisen, “Glacier Bay”

Deborah tells us, “In this short attention span, instant gratification, digitally driven culture we live in, I am asking viewers to put their devices down, to take the time to pause and really look at what is in front of them, look at what is around them, and to see and question more than meets the eye”.

Are you looking for something special to do?  Are family and friends visiting?  Learn how painters, sculptors, and photographers engage their viewers, why you are drawn to one work of art vs. another, how the materials and colors impact your senses and affect your emotions, and lots more! Deborah Bigeleisen is not only an internationally renown artist, but reports from those who have taken her art tours insist she is also a terrific art guide.  The Rickie Report shares this information, as Art Basel, Art Palm Beach and a multitude of museums are ready for art lovers. Deborah actively lectures on several unusual art-related subjects: “The Art Of Buying Art” and her specialized virtual museum tour, ” From Ordinary to Extraordinary: Looking at Art Through the Eyes and Mind of An Artist”.  Both of these lectures are terrific for organizations! The Rickie Report suggests you call soon regarding dates and availability.

It’s all about seeing Art

Through the mind and eyes of an artist!

Have the unique experience of seeing South Florida’s exceptional museums, lush sculpture and botanical gardens, fine art galleries, and international fine art fairs through the mind and vision of internationally acclaimed artist, Deborah Bigeleisen. 

“Vortex” by Deborah Bigeleisen

Whether you are savvy about art, or new to exploring museums and galleries you are in for an enriching and entertaining time. The tours are more of a conversation and less of a lecture; and because they are unscripted, there is a lot of flexibility, and they are always fresh and interesting. For those of you who have been intimidated by going to museums but have always been curious, Deborah’s relaxed engaging manner will remove all your fears and hopefully have you clamoring to see more!

               “White Rose” by Deborah Bigeleisen 

Kristina Loaiza, Chef Concierge at The Brazilian Court Hotel shares, 

When I asked one of my more “seasoned” co-workers who has some experience in art, he told me, “I thought Deb was a great tour guide of the Norton. She was interactive and knowledgable about the pieces and exhibits. Deb has the ability to process art at a high level. Deb’s passion for the arts can transcend to reach all generations and evoke emotions you never thought art would make you feel.”
