Note About the Artist

We are saddened to lose an Alaskan artist whose bright, bold, and whimsical scenes from the Far North held a sense of wonder and magic.

Deb Lestenkof (Deb’s Creative Paws) was born with chronic kidney failure and never took a single day for granted. (She passed away February 20, 2022 after a prolonged battle with COVID.)

Of her outlook on life and artistic process, Deb said: “Each day I am thankful for the air I take into my lungs. I paint with gratitude, for others and appreciation for my environment. I seek to capture the beauty that surrounds us and constantly surprised with what my art says to me. In this way, the painting creates me, not the other way around.”
