Debbie Scott-Queenin's journey from urban planner to photographer is a testament to the transformative power of art and the human capacity for reinvention. Her 30-year tenure in seaport planning has endowed her with a unique perspective on the world, one that she now channels into her photography. Influenced by the fine art principles of design taught by Mr. Jack Wild, Debbie's work is a fusion of pattern, form, texture, color, and shape, capturing the essence of her subjects with a respectful and empathetic lens. Her philosophy of being a 'guest' in the places she photographs reflects a deep understanding of her role as an observer and storyteller, using her camera to explore and connect with the world around her. Debbie's work is not just about what she sees, but how she feels, and it is this emotional honesty that resonates in her photographic art, inviting viewers to share in her journey of discovery and adventure.

What They're Saying...
CAFA + Photo 2022 Virtual Exhibition: "Steppers" This setting evokes a de Chirico urban landscape with the massive columnar forms on the right and the strong horizontal lines of the steps jutting into infinity, all of which is offset by the azure blue sky and figures moving through space. The two figures in the distant center create a small vertical offset while the runner bounding up the steps in the right foreground makes for a dynamic counterpoint with implied motion and energy that balances, enlivens and humanizes the scene. George Schaub, Juror
