Since 1984, Debbie has lived and worked in Wauwatosa, WI with her husband and two, now grown, sons. She paints professionally and is co-owner of The Martini Girls Gallery & Studio, LLC.

One of Debbie’s pieces, Madonna & Child, was featured on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Christmas Day 2012 as the “Gift of Art” to Wisconsin from the publishers.
