DEBBIE

MCNAIR

Debbie McNair graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1988 with a diploma in Fine Arts. Debbie's 3rd year was spent in Florence Italy,  with the OCA off-campus program. This proved to be a defining year, where she spent particular attention developing her passion for drawing and oil painting.

Upon her graduation from OCA, Debbie spent four years as a full time graphic designer, and at the same time a free-lance portrait artist with a wide range of commissions which included people, pets and homes.

Debbie’s next career focus was that of a fulltime mother and part-time designer. Embracing her role as a mother she developed a love for form in ceramic arts. Creating tactile art was very fulfilling while immersed in raising her 4 children. 

After time away from oil painting Debbie has spent the last several years redefining her love of painting. Her passion for portraits has always been a part of her.  Her new portrait works reflects a knowledge and excitement for the human form, and an unique approach to this discipline.
