Recent work takes Debra to the performance artisans working within the Cirque du Soleil family.

New work will be uploaded soon. Debra is also working on photographing Rastafari natives of the West Indies working in close relationship with Dr. Jake Homiak who has curated the Smithsonian's "Discover Rastafari!" exhibition. This is a long photographic journey and work will be unveiled over time. More documentary in it's focus, the work hopefully will capture a portraiture of a people, in the same quality and beauty that Edward S. Curtis captured the Native American Indians.
