Throwing Down the Gauntlet (2016)
This 3-piece exhibit is a a visual representation of four
important social and mental issues on college campuses: stereotyping, taboo products, beauty and body image, and mental illness.
These issues often get solved with a 'quick fix' of punishment instead of proper therapy, treatment and guidance.

VISUAL THINKING.
To me, art is power. Art is a vehicle for learning, love, community building, and appreciation.
Art education plays a vital role in helping students to grow and learn to think outside the box.
I make art to start conversation, spark creativity, and spread cultural and social awareness.
Debbie Ali
Mixed Media Art and Design
Hi there! My name is Debbie and I love art.
Firstly, thank you so much for checking out my portfolio!
A little more about me, I am a recent graduate from St. Lawrence University in New York. I majored in Economics, and double minored in Fine Arts and Anthropology! Many people are shocked whenever I tell them what I've studied and ask, "how do those three go together?" I love this question. There are so many intersectional connections that can be found between art and other subjects; once you start to notice them, it's impossible not to seek out more!
While at university, I have taken studio courses including Sculpture I and II, Ceramics I, Printmaking I, and Experimental Filmmaking/Video Art. I have participated in Inktober, worked with digital software, recycled materials, metal, wood, acrylic/watercolor paint, and traditional origami craft. I have also choreographed and danced in cultural performances including the International Dance & Food Showcase hosted by the Guyanese Sisters at SLU.
Liberally Arts is my latest project; it is a blog that encompasses my passion for the arts and education. I write articles or draw about all kinds of art, unique careers paths, and general education. Take a look: http://www.liberallyarts.wordpress.com
I am currently volunteering for the Haverstraw RiverArts Festival, RMG's Art Expo New York 2017, and aim to achieve a graduate degree in Special Ed and Art Education. Let's make some art!
