Debi Robinson-Smith has been living and working on the Palouse for 20+ years. Her art encompasses re-use, re-cycle, down-cycle, and make do, which is a philosophy women have always embraced through difficult times when survival of family and community is the keystone. She uses found materials, leftovers, mis-mixed paint, and yard sale junque to create something both new and having the psychic patina of previous owners.
