Debbe
Edwards is a Native American Indian sculptor from Northeast Oklahoma.
She is a member of the Cherokee Nation. Animals have always been a big
part of her life, from raising wild animals, to training and raising Quarter
Horses. She credits her grandfather, with whom she spent a great amount
of time, with teaching her respect, patience, love, and deep insight about
all animals. Debbe competed in college rodeos while attending Kansas State
University, after college, and then with her two daughters through their
high school years.

Through
her art, much attention is given to detail, character, and mood in each
piece of art, thus creating very life-like animal sculptures. Each of
her sculptures reflects a part of her life.
Debbe
lives on her farm and continues her work with her
horses as well as her art.

Debbe
began carving in wood in 1990, after receiving a small set of woodcarving
tools from her husband for Christmas. She became instantly "hooked",
and her life started taking on a new challenge. Attending woodcarving
shows, Debbe won many Best of Show and Judges Choice Awards with her sculpture.
She began teaching seminar classes in 1994, and has taught classes throughout
the United States and Canada. In 1998, Debbe also began sculpting in stone
with great enthusiasm, along with producing bronzes from some of her original
wood sculptures. She now focuses on attending Fine Art Shows, and Indian
Art Shows with her sculptures and has now won many awards and Best of
Shows at these shows.
