Deborah Lee Galesi, after having lived various lives between the Universe and Mother Earth, she is born once again, in Paterson, New Jersey, U.S.A..
As a small child, she discovered a great love for oil painting, and was encouraged by her teacher to follow this strong passion. Eleanor Egg was her first private Art Instructor. After some years, Deborah graduated at the University of Colorado, with a BFA (art, psychology).
Post graduate travels found her in Japan, where she discovered the Church of World Messianity (Johrei). Here she learned her healing abilities could be channeled into and through her paintings. Then, continuing her private lesson with Maestros Raymond Whyte and Gene Scarpentoni from the ‘Art Student’s League” N.Y.C. she was able to show her work in N.Y., Colorado, New Jersey and France. Her work is collected privately in U.S.A., France, Japan, Italy, India and Mexico.
She taught for some years in the U.S.A., and after her Maestro Gene Scarpentoni’s death, she travelled all over Europe in search of a new Maestro, she was involved with the I.A.U. College, in Aix-En Provence, France, and later found herself in Florence. She found a beautiful soul and studied with her by the name of Miestra Simi. As she continued her artistic path Deborah began studying at Villa Schifanoia, but not to her satisfaction. Therefore, she happily found herself as an apprentice with Ben Long, a student of Annigoni, specializing with portraits. Today, Deborah shows us various styles in her work: Conceptual An Impressionism, Symbolism, Naif, Fantastique, New Realism, Surrealism, depending on her spiritual moments. Thus, her paintings are based on the vibrations received from places or lifetimes, or, from Space without Time. In reality, since childhood, Deborah has always been attracted to Florence, the magical energy of the Renaissance, allowing Deborah to know her Inner Self more fully. Deborah’ s paintings transmit many messages for Humanity so that Humanity may remember the true fundamental values of love, life and nature.
