Deborah Petermann

Deborah Petermann lives in northwestern North Carolina, and has been doing artwork all her life. Following her retirement from NC State University and the move to Western North Carolina, she has devoted her time to painting landscapes of Western North Carolina, Southern Virginia, Switzerland and France. “I have always been moved by the beauty of nature and feel the need to cherish and promote the preservation of natural areas.” 

Primarily a landscape painter, her works also include printmaking, figurative painting, abstracts, and portraiture. She has hundreds of portraits in private collections and numerous other works hanging in corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe. Deborah is primarily a self-taught artist.

She studied printmaking with established master printmakers Phil Garrett and Steve Chapp. She was awarded three merit scholarships to the Greenville County Museum School of Art. Her works were exhibited at the Greenville County Museum of Art in 1987 and 1988 and she was previously represented by the Mary Praytor Gallery.
