Interview by Jade Davis

Debra has been an EAC student since 2000, and joined the board in 2014. She currently serves as board president, and is an active EAC ceramics and printmaking student.

Do you have an arts background? What led you to the Evanston Art Center?

I was a bio major and an art minor in college, with a professional career in sciences. When I moved here, my kids were in school. I quit working, and I was looking for a community where I could fill that void. I came to EAC. I happened to meet a number of Debra Favre, Teapot, 2018 women in the same life stage as me.

How was photography used throughout the process?

Throughout the program, we went through a variety of different photographic approaches and techniques. Instead of spending the entire program shooting and leaving the images as digital files, we would shoot, edit, and print the photos. This allowed the students to be exposed to each step of the photographic process and see what is possible when it comes to shooting, editing with photoshop, and printing the final images out. Seeing how each student was able to do such different work and use these processes in their own unique ways was wonderful.

Is it important for youth to explore artistic mediums in this way?

Creative expression is powerful, and I believe photography especially is a tool that can transform how you experience Generation F-Stop Artist: Dillon, Untitled, 2019 your surroundings and see the world in a new light.
