Deb Kirkpatrick has always had a strange fascination with the odd and all things paranormal. Since a young child, she has walked countless cemeteries, sitting in them, meditating in them...walking in them. She even had a make-believe friend that died the same year she was born, that she "befriended" at a childhood cemetery! Daily fun activities include reading the
obits....the deads lives , what they did, when they were born....not as interested in why they died...just who they were..and fascinated that they are "over there" now.
As a child, Deb had an ever-present entity in her life....a dark black cloaked man, in the corners, lurking in the shadows. Her parents eventually had an exorsism to rid her of these visitations..it worked..but she always thinks of him and why he was there. Plagued by nightmares, visions and illnesses as a child...this sculpted who she is today.
Many of these things that run through her head....comes out in her art.
