Join Meadowlark artist Deb Tougas  in the Toni Onley Gallery for an informal talk about how she takes everyday subjects and by layering and saturating them with color they leap off the canvas..

Deb Tougas is a professional visual artist based in Penticton, British Columbia in the heart of the Okanagan Valley. After retiring from the Hudson’s Bay Company with twenty years of experience as a marketing manager, she redirected her visual presentation and marketing expertise into a fulltime art career. Inspired by her environment and nature Deb creates vibrant acrylic paintings in a magic realism style. Her work often features honeycomb motifs to symbolize the vital importance of pollination to the eco system and the world at large. Her subject matter includes birds, bees, butterflies, animals and people. Deb’s paintings have been exhibited in numerous shows and are held in public and private collections across Canada, USA and Mexico.
