She also worked as a Project Manager for the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program for several years. Gross-Zuchman paints en plein air and from her imagination.

Becky’s Braids, written by Susan Weiss and illustrated by Gross-Zuchman is a story about a little girl with the messiest hair until her grandmother comes to visit and teaches her to make braided challah.

Effectations is about man’s isolation and search for meaning. Deborah’s paintings are alongside her son Will’s poetry and is available upon request.

Artist Statement

Man has not yet subdued nature in reality or in the imagination.

Painting the forest and the landscape is a spiritual and material activity in harmony with birth, growth, death, re-birth, light, darkness, isolation and communion.

My work presents the spirit of the materiality of paint so that memories of places become expressions of feeling and meaning.
