The Muse Speaks, Debra Lee Babcock, 2024

WaFd Bank in Eastsound is pleased to announce that the featured artist for July and August this year is Orcas Island writer & painter Debra Lee Babcock of Art and Word Studio. Debra received a BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, is a certified Intentional Creativity and this year’s Washington State Inter-island Ferry Writer in Residence. This show of current and new work demonstrates some of the ways she weaves words into her visual work as well, layering intentions, prayers, and personal iconography beneath and throughout the imagery, sometimes visibly, sometimes not.

The show will be on display in our lobby for July and August 2024, and we invite you to stop in Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. For more information you can email the artist at debraleebabcock@gmail.com or stop by WaFd at 35 Main Street in Eastsound.
