Our featured artist for the month of July is Debbie Klekot Zanto.

"I was raised in Ripon (South shore of Rush Lake)and now live in Omro.
I started oil painting in 1994. I was really impressed with Bob Ross at the time. Life took me down other avenues and I stopped painting in 1997. I always kept it in the back of my mind that someday I might want to paint again.

I retired in 2020 when COVID hit. I had strong feelings about painting once again. In October of 2020 I did just that. I started with my original oil paints and moved on to acrylic paint.

I am a self taught painter. I really enjoy painting landscapes, water and dogs. I have painted many pet portraits for customers. I sell my paintings at craft and art fairs in Wisconsin.
