Deborah Blau was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Belgian immigrants. Her father is a self-taught artist. Influenced by his tireless work as a copyist she began her own studies at the Art Students League of New York, studying with Gustav Rehberger, Daniel Green and Frank Mason. She obtained a BA in Fine Arts and a degree in Early Childhood Education from Hunter College.
Deborah taught preschool for over 20 years and raised her three children before returning to her artistic career. She works primarily in oils and gouache. Her current landscapes reflect the beauty of the Hudson River Valley. Deborah now lives and paints in Rockland County.
