Art From the Heart: Internationally Acclaimed Artist Leaves her Heart Work in San Francisco and Brings Her Love to New York

For the first time, internationally acclaimed oil painter Debbie Marie Arambula will feature her work at the East Hampton Fine Arts Festival at the American Legion grounds of Amagansett, Long Island, July 4, 5 and 6.

Campbell, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2009 -- For the first time, internationally acclaimed oil painter Debbie Marie (http://www.debbiemariegallery.com/PR_Pages/Debbie_Marie_Arambula_Press_Page.html) will feature her work at the East Hampton Fine Arts Festival at the American Legion grounds of Amagansett, Long Island, July 4, 5 and 6. Debbie Marie is known for her high-spirited 'Heartwork' art and will be bringing her special 'Peace & Love Series' to the show. Contemporary and bold, she paints with oil or acrylic on canvas and on glassware with bright colors and positive energy that permeates her work and immediately engages her audiences.

Her newest work, 'Peaces of a Dream' is part of Debbie Marie's Peace & Love Series (http://www.debbiemariegallery.com/debbie-marie-arambula-Peace-Love-Series.2.html), that will be showcased at the Fine Art Festival. 'Peaces of a Dream', was created to inspire a spiritual greatness from within each of our hearts. Her single hearts series down the center of the peace sign symbolize the concept that peace starts with a personal decision to treat others the way you would like to be treated. The two hearts joined together to make the circle, symbolize that fact that it takes two people, two city officials, two towns, two countries, standing side by side to create change. The work is available as a single art piece or as a triptych.

"I purposely created the three panels so the viewer wouldn't see the peace sign right away; I want the viewer to discover it in his/her own time & then have an 'ah-ha' moment! I created this piece because I hope to inspire peace globally…for all cultures, all races, all communities, all families, all people. This 'Peace' is dedicated to the world."

Debbie Marie was born an artist and with the encouragement of grandmother she started painting at age 5. She started her professional career after attending a painting class on an International Artist Convention Cruise in 1996. Debbie Marie was selected as the 2009 featured artist at the 47th annual Art in the Park show in Boulder City, one of the largest juried outdoor art festival in the southwest. In 2010, her work will be featured on the festival posters, t-shirts and the official program.

Best known for her exuberant style of "Heart Portraits"; highly personalized works of art reflecting the essence and energy of an individual, family or couple, Debbie Marie has been interviewed on local network television stations such as NBC and ABC throughout the west coast. Debbie Marie features her work on tour, at her confidential studio in Northern California and on her website at www.debbiemariegallery.com.
