IT'S A WILD LIFE
Debbie Palen
Debbie Palen’s work on display represents a portion of her career as a freelance illustrator providing art for children’s books and magazines. Humorous and educational, this mixed media artwork draws upon a child’s curiosity and encourages their engagement with the natural world. Many of the pieces were created for Ranger Rick, a publication of the National Wildlife Federation.
