Her work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Puffin Foundation and Chicago Artists’ Assistance Program grants have supported her work.
Deborah has attended artist residencies in the US and abroad, including Ragdale/Lake Forest and Public Art Residency, Kassel/Berlin. Her work is in US and international collections.
