Debbie Lynn Zwiebach describes her work as “doodles turned into art.” Her unique artistic style evolved through a process of formal training coupled with artistic improvisation. An accomplished illustrator, her early work included a series depicting Baltimore landmarks and buildings. In more recent years she has worked in pen and color inks to create magical illustrations of nature, geometric, and architectural designs. Her colorful aquatic images are on permanent display at the Johns Hopkins-Bayview campus Pediatric Emergency Department.

Femininity and feminine performance is a double-edged sword, simultaneously beautiful and violent. Through art, I strives to create meditative and cathartic moments that honor sacred contradictions within the aesthetic and socio-political category of 'feminine'.
