Zooinitas is thrilled to have Debra Saum as part of the exhibition. Engaging her artistic and communicative talents as an Animal Intuitive, Debra celebrates the inspirational
wisdom of animals with her “Talking Art”. “It is my dream to broadcast the animal’s messages of love,
hope and joy. By listening to them, we return to our own sense of what is right
in the world.”
Debra Saum’s vibrant portraits of dogs, cats, horses and
endangered species such as lions, tigers, leopards, primates, elephants, and
zebra speak to the heart of all humans, helping to raise awareness about how
animals enrich our lives with humor, joy, compassion and wonder.
Commissioned portraits of beloved pets, equine art and
wildlife representations all come to life through the trained eye and heartfelt
instincts of artist and animal communicator Debra Saum.
Debra’s connection with animals started when she was a
child. Curious to understand nature and all her creatures, she was most
often found talking with the animals.
A self-taught artist, she has been creating her unique style
of watercolor and acrylic art for over 25 years. Her “Talking Art” is
nationally recognized for its remarkable ability to ignite inter-species
communication.
Debra spends 40 – 60 hours with each painting, creating
“Animal Communication on Canvas”. Her vibrant portrayals of domestic
animals and endangered wildlife reach out from the canvas to touch the hearts
of humans.
Debra’s articles, books, television and radio appearances
encourage others to recognize the intelligence and sensitivity in all animals.
Recognized as an expert in the emerging field of Inter-species relationships,
her work is considered revolutionary.
Artistically, I have always been drawn to depict animals in
addition to people, especially in a whimsical manner. There is no shortage of
fascinating, unusual subjects in the animal kingdom. In all my work, I am
intrigued by line, texture and color, and am most drawn to using watercolor as
it is unpredictable. The most interesting things happen in my work when
“mistakes” occur- unplanned reactions between pigment & paper that I will
never be able to duplicate.
