BIO

Deb Chaney is a contemporary abstract artist based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The process of creating her multilayered mixed media paintings is a healing act. Her work appears in corporate and private collections worldwide, in public art, TV, and film. She recently completed West Coast Abstracts, a large-scale tile installation, and has been named in the media as one of Vancouver’s top artists to watch. Her art embodies well-being, creativity, and transformative presence.

I work in series and am currently exporing the interconnectedness between earth and well-being. My Earth Drishti paintings draw on my background in earth and ocean sciences, inspired by geology, canyons, and ancient rock layers. Using house paint, pencil, spray paint, gels, local sand, and acrylics, I build textured strata that echo cross-sections of the earth. The creative process itself grounds me in presence and joy. These paintings are offerings of gratitude, inviting viewers to reconnect with the beauty and vitality of our planet.
