JUROR Debby Fleming-Mellor

Pastel, water color and oils: fine arts painter

Debby Fleming-Mellor grew up in Flushing, Michigan. Under the tutelage of her talented high school art teacher, Richard Wolfgang, she won a first-place award in a state-wide high school student art competition when she was in the 11th grade. After that came college, marriage, work and children and art fell by the wayside for more pressing life issues.

 In the mid-2000s, Debby started classes at Los Angeles- based fine art school, Mission: Renaissance. Thanks to a comprehensive program developed by Larry Gluck, Debby’s art muse was rekindled. She’s also taken classes with well-respected watercolorists Stan Miller and Lian Zhen and pastel artists, Mary Aslin and Brenda Boylan.

 In 2019 her work was displayed in the Orange County Fine Art/showcase gallery. In 2019 Debby entered her first juried show at the Laguna Beach Art-a-Fair and had a very successful show which was supported by her first collector. She will be showing her work again at the Art-a-Fair show in Laguna Beach from July 2 2021 to September 5 2021.

 Debby and her crossword-writer husband, Myles Mellor, live in Carlsbad, California. They love to travel and many of her works are taken from her photographs taken in Europe.

Watercolors and pastels have become her passion, with her subject matter being interesting structures, villages and towns and flowers. Laguna Art A Fair 2019 is Debby’s first juried art show and she is thrilled to have been accepted to this iconic Laguna Beach tradition. In 2021, Debby was accepted as an Associate Member of the American Pastel Society.

From July 2021 to September 2021 Debby was showing her work again at the Laguna Beach Art-A-Fair. In September 2021 Debby was juried into the prestigious Festival of the Arts Show San Diego which was held at Del Mar, CA.  Debby has shown her work at the San Diego Artwalk, The Montrose Arts and Crafts Festival, Carlsbad Village Artwalk and the San Diego Art Festival.
